992 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 992 Carroll Street in Crown Heights, owned by Melinda Hanson and constructed in 1924 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced a series of significant maintenance and operational challenges, particularly during the winter of late 2021 through early 2022. The building underwent multiple simultaneous complaints in December 2021, including emergencies related to heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, window frame issues, and concerns about the porch or balcony from the outside.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections in response to these complaints, no violations were found in several cases, and access limitations hindered inspections of heat and hot water systems. The Department of Buildings also received complaints in December 2021 regarding work performed without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling, resulting in an Oath Violation, and an issue with a defective or inoperative boiler that was marked as access denied upon inspection attempts.

The building's documented service history shows a cluster of concerns during a specific period (December 2021-February 2022), with all complaints ultimately being closed by March 2022. While some issues were classified as emergencies requiring urgent attention, they were either resolved without violations being issued or remained unverified due to access issues. The property has not shown significant reported issues in the period following these events (2022-2023), suggesting a potential stabilization of conditions, though it's worth noting that routine maintenance and compliance checks in older buildings of this type are crucial for ongoing resident safety and comfort.
