The three-story, two-family house at 7402 New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Su Ping Wu, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months. The building has faced recurring heating system issues, with multiple emergency complaints about inadequate heat or hot water affecting the entire building recorded in February and March 2025. These heating problems coincide with documented boiler violations, including two separate complaints in February 2025 regarding defective or inoperative boiler systems, resulting in Oath Violations being served.

In addition to heating concerns, the property has had problems with sanitation and pest control, as evidenced by multiple reports of rodent-related issues in March 2025, including both sightings and conditions attracting rodents. More recent complaints from May 2025 indicate ongoing sanitation concerns, with reports of sewage leaks and odors requiring investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were issued in one case. The building's history also includes a boiler-related access issue in December 2022, and an illegal advertising sign violation issued in October 2022. Of particular note is an active violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains open as of the current date.

The property has a documented pattern of heating system problems throughout 2025, with emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues in February, March, April, and multiple reports in March suggesting persistent problems with the building's heating infrastructure. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections, others have required multiple follow-ups or remain open, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building was constructed in 1931 and has been subject to various building and health department inspections, with most recent findings suggesting issues with both heating systems and sanitation conditions. This report is based on available data up to October 2023, with significant weight given to recent events that directly impact resident comfort and safety.
