2402 Benson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

2402 Benson Avenue is a 32-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Louisa Mosconi. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed in February 2025 regarding the entire building, following a similar pattern with a building-wide complaint in October 2021. The building underwent multiple violations and repairs related to gas supply issues, particularly affecting apartments 1F and 4A in early 2020, which required inspections and resulted in violations.

There have also been various maintenance concerns, including problems with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system, electric/gas range appliances, and plumbing systems. Recent building history shows attention to energy efficiency compliance matters, with violations issued in 2021 for failure to display energy efficiency scores and submit benchmarking reports, though prior benchmarking violations from 2019-2020 were dismissed. Bedbug reports indicate relatively low incidence rates, with three years (2022, 2020, and 2019) showing one infested unit each, all of which were reported as eradicated.

The building has undergone some structural and safety improvements, as evidenced by violation corrections from inspections conducted in January 2020, which addressed issues such as broken fire retardant materials, electrical wiring conditions, window repairs, and cleaning of soot in public areas. A permit was issued in June 2020 for unspecified work under job number 340722677. While the building has maintained relatively stable occupancy and has shown responsiveness to major violations, the recurring heating issues and emergency complaints suggest ongoing system challenges requiring monitoring.
