1738 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1738 79th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story "New Law Tenement" building located in Bensonhurst, owned by Anna Aulisa and constructed in 1931. The most significant recent issues occurred in June 2022, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), targeting various problems including electrical issues (lighting and outlets), unsanitary conditions (pests), appliance problems (refrigerator and range), plumbing (bathtub/shower), flooring issues, and safety concerns (broken/missing window guards).

While some of these inspections resulted in violations, specifically concerning pest infestation and window guard safety, others did not warrant any violations. The apartment at the center of these inspections, Unit 3F, was found to have several notable conditions requiring attention, including the presence of mice, broken plaster surfaces, and multiple electrical system deficiencies affecting various outlet locations. Following these inspections, certain violations were certified as addressed by August 2022, except for ongoing Class B violations related to electrical service provision and C violations concerning pest infestation and window guards.

A review of the building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications during this period. Earlier records from 2011 indicated a passing rodent inspection. As of October 2023, there are no open housing violations on record, though it's important to note that building compliance data may have changed since that time.
