82 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The five-story, 30-unit building at 82 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Ari Sklar, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant problems centering around heat and hot water systems. In early 2025 alone, there were two separate complaints about heat/hot water issues in January, following a similar building-wide outage in January 2024. Additional maintenance concerns include water leaks (both slow and heavy flow) reported in 2024 and 2023, and multiple instances of mold and unsanitary conditions in 2024.

The building has documented violations regarding safety systems, particularly in apartment 3D, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and lead-based paint hazards that were issued in mid-2024 but appear to have had follow-up certifications in August 2024. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service, most recently in 2025. A sidewalk shed and pipe scaffolding violation was recorded in October 2024.

Inspectors have consistently found the building to pass rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent successful inspection in January 2024, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods, indicating good pest control practices. Recent violations related to fire door functionality and drainage issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, and as of 2025, there are still several active violations related to the building systems. The property has a documented history of concerted efforts to address these issues, but the pattern of recurring complaints suggests that some systems may require more thorough long-term solutions.
