2101 74th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-family house at 2101 74th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Joseph Caruso and built in 1930, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns arising in early 2023. Between January and February 2023, multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints were filed, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) generally found no violations, with one instance in January 2023 resulting in no access to the apartment for inspection.

A cluster of heat and hot water complaints were logged across multiple days in February 2023, all marked as emergencies but subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history also includes a sidewalk standing water complaint in July 2023, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) with no violations found.

Prior to these incidents, there was an electrical issue in October 2020 regarding no lighting, which was also investigated by HPD with no violations issued. The only other recorded concern was a 2021 complaint regarding egress issues, though an inspection conducted the same day found no violations. While the building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in the early months of 2023, the resolution of these complaints typically involves inspections that do not result in violation findings.
