102 Berkeley Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

102 Berkeley Place is an 8-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1880 and currently owned by Mark Weinberger. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable being three Class C violations identified during a September 2024 inspection: an improperly placed free-standing radiator in the second-story public hall, a defective iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening in the fourth-story public hall, and a door safety issue involving a hook-and-eye device at the first-story vestibule door. These violations, while concerning, were certified as corrected in October 2024.

The building has also faced periodic heating and hot water issues, including a March 2022 complaint regarding lack of service to the entire building, though tenants reported restoration of services during the HPD inspection. A mold-related service request was filed in February 2024, which was closed without violations being issued. Of particular note is the building's consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in recent years (most recent filing for 2023-2024 shows 0 infested units), though there were three annual bedbug report violations issued between 2021 and 2023.

The building's boiler room has been a recurring focus of attention, with a 2021 ECB violation issued for improper storage and signage (with a $310 penalty), though this was resolved. Historical records from 1986 show various violations related to the boiler room, including issues with handhole openings, metal ceiling repairs, and excessive storage, all of which have presumably been addressed. The building has demonstrated some recent pattern of compliance with housing maintenance laws, as evidenced by the closure of various violations and service requests, though the recurring nature of some issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
