10 Plaza St East, Brooklyn, NY 11238

10 Plaza Street East is a 16-story, 134-unit residential building constructed in 1959, currently managed by Plaza Prospect Apt Inc. The building has experienced persistent moisture-related issues in 2023, with multiple reports of mold and water leaks between March and April 2023, particularly affecting apartment 8A, which has documented HPD violations for mold remediation and repairs to defective plastered surfaces. The property underwent inspection by the Department of Buildings in 2025 that resulted in a stop work order being fully rescinded, indicating some recent activity that required oversight.

Historically, the building has faced several significant maintenance challenges, including active elevator violations from 2019 for failure to correct defects noted in previous inspections, and various types of environmental and safety violations. In 2022, there were multiple citations related to elevator safety and operation, with penalties imposed. The building's elevator system has been a recurring focus of regulatory attention, as evidenced by multiple ECB violations between 2018-2022 related to defective equipment and safety concerns, including a 2022 violation regarding the car phone and safety signs that carried a $625 penalty. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2018, with all recent annual reports indicating zero infested units.

Regular rodent inspections from 2017 onward have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management practices are in place. While the most recent violations have been addressed in a timely manner, with many being closed or resolved, the cluster of moisture-related issues in 2023 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building management has generally responded to violations and complaints, as evidenced by multiple closed HPD complaints and the resolution of various ECB violations, though some issues have persisted or reoccurred, particularly regarding the building's infrastructure systems. The property's maintenance record shows regular inspections and compliance efforts, with several permits issued in recent years for various work types, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the summary.
