1729 73rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1729 73rd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Lirie Spahi, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems in recent years, most notably in February 2023 when both apartment-specific and entire building complaints were filed and subsequently resolved. The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including a heavy water leak in October 2022 and safety concerns related to smoke detectors in August 2020.

Significant violations were recorded in 2022 concerning fire egress, including a defective gate locking device and concerns about a self-closing door at the building entrance, though these were certified as corrected by October 2022. A noteworthy environmental control board violation was issued in November 2022 regarding an illegally maintained shared driveway and curb cut, though this appears to have been resolved without penalty. Recent maintenance patterns show consistent attention to pest control, with the building maintaining a clean record on bedbug infestations since 2019, as evidenced by the annual reports filed between 2019 and 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Rodent inspections conducted from 2017 through 2021 consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. While the building experienced multiple heat-related issues between 2019 and 2023, particularly during the winter months, most complaints have been addressed promptly through the appropriate channels, as shown by the relatively quick resolution of service requests. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in July 2025 showing no infestation history for the previous reporting period.
