1734 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1734 79th Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Sulejman Liharevic, located in Bensonhurst. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around lead-based paint hazards and compliance with lead safety regulations in 2022, where two open violations were recorded related to failures to notify occupants and provide required documentation. The building's heat and hot water systems were the subject of a December 2018 complaint affecting the entire building, though housing inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

There has also been ongoing oversight regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with three separate violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the building's 2020-2021 bedbug report indicated no units were infested or required eradication. A rodent inspection in 2011 passed, suggesting no rodent issues at that time. The property has a notable record of regulatory interactions primarily focused on safety compliance rather than urgent repair needs, with the most recent violations occurring in 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements.

While the building has had various compliance issues over the past few years, many of these violations have been subsequently closed, with the most recent open violations being from 2022 regarding lead paint safety. The relatively infrequent nature of heat and hot water complaints, with only one recorded incident in late 2018, may suggest this was not a recurring problem. The building's age and classification as a New Law Tenement suggest it is subject to specific regulatory requirements regarding safety and maintenance that the owner must comply with, some of which have resulted in the violations noted above.
