1723 73rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, six-unit building at 1723 73rd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Lirie Spahi, has a significant history of heat and hot water issues, with eight emergency complaints filed between late 2021 and early 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While most of these complaints were resolved with restoration of services, the pattern suggests recurring heating system challenges.

The building also experienced several maintenance issues in 2022-2023, including plumbing problems (specifically in Apartment 5), electrical wiring concerns in the first story's public hall, window frame issues, and a falling hazard due to a freestanding radiator in the third-story hall. The property has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with notable concerns including spalling stucco and damaged bricks at the parapet level (2024) and an unresolved chimney cleaning issue (2020). Recent inspections and complaints from 2024 show continuing concerns, with an ECB violation for spalling stucco and damage bricks at the parapet level, though this was resolved with a penalty of $310.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including a window guard violation in Apartment 5 (2022) and various infrastructure concerns. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2016 through 2020. The property has also experienced multiple emergency situations requiring HPD response for heat and hot water issues, electrical problems, and plumbing concerns, though many of these were addressed through repairs rather than resulting in sustained violations.
