273 Avenue P, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 48-unit, 6-story residential building at 273 Avenue P in Bensonhurst, owned by Antonia Vega, has experienced persistent heating system issues over recent years, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in the entire building. The most recent incident was reported and resolved in November 2024, marking the sixth such occurrence since late 2020. Additionally, a significant cluster of fire escape-related violations was documented in February 2023, including defective components and safety concerns across multiple floors, though these were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has maintained an excellent bedbug record, with no reported infestations since 2019. Earlier maintenance concerns included elevator issues with violations dating back to 2018, which were resolved by October 2018 following an Oath violation, and various repairs needed in 2020, including fire retardant materials and ceiling paint in the public hall. The building's heating systems have shown recurring issues, with emergencies declared in 2020-2024, though most complaints were closed after tenants reported restoration of services during inspections.

In terms of safety infrastructure, the 2023 fire escape violations highlighted multiple defects that required attention, though no new violations have been reported since February 2023. The property has consistently complied with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestations in recent years. Historical records indicate past elevator service problems in 2018, which were addressed, and various maintenance matters such as garbage storage issues in 2020, though these were resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, particularly regarding heating system reliability.
