1749 76th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1749 76th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building built in 1931, currently owned by James Huang. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with eight documented complaints between October 2023 and March 2025, all classified as emergencies. While most of these complaints were resolved promptly, with inspectors confirming restoration of services or conditions being corrected, there was one instance in October 2023 where inspectors could not gain access to the building for inspection.

More recently, in November 2024, the building received multiple Class A and Class B violations primarily affecting apartment 1F, including issues with peeling paint, missing window guards, defective latchsets, and various safety concerns related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices. As of March 2025, there was also a temporary heat and hot water issue that was resolved shortly after inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing urgent complaints, though some violations remain open as of the latest inspection dates.

Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with six consecutive annual reports (2020-2025) showing zero instances of infestation or re-infestation. A minor construction-related complaint from 2019 regarding grade/watercourse changes was referred to the Department of Transportation and marked as closed. The building appears to have an ongoing need for infrastructure maintenance and safety compliance updates, particularly regarding heating systems and safety equipment in apartment 1F.
