2040 73rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

2040 73rd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jin Wu Wu. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most concerning cluster of problems occurring in January 2019 when multiple complaints were filed on the same day, including reports of mold (unsanitary condition), pest infestation (violations issued), heat/hot water issues, and various maintenance problems involving walls and cabinets.

During this period, specific violations were noted for the 3rd front apartment, including the need for repair of peeling paint in the bathroom and kitchen, mouse infestation, and door-related issues, though some of these violations were subsequently closed by February 2019. The building has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug management, with annual reports filed consistently between 2019 and 2024 showing no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods from 2021-2022 and 2019-2020, with all metrics indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

As of April 2024, there remains an open Class A violation related to the annual bedbug report requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code, though previous years' violations for this requirement from 2021-2023 were closed successfully. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion was investigated in February 2019 but was determined to have no warranted violations. The building's maintenance history indicates periods of attention to basic infrastructure and health concerns, with most issues being addressed through official channels, though some violations remain open as of the latest records.
