98 Hall Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

98 Hall Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Built in 1993 and currently owned by Xinghua Wang, this property has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent concern being a paint/plaster ceiling issue filed in December 2023 that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect. The building faced significant plumbing and water-related problems in late 2019 and early 2020, with multiple emergency complaints involving sinks/basins, a bathtub/shower, and slow water leaks, though one plumbing complaint (regarding a sink) was inspected with no violations found.

An electrical/gas range appliance issue was also documented during this period. More recent concerns for the property include rodent activity, with inspections conducted in February and March 2025 both confirming rat presence. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past four inspection periods from 2020 to 2022, with no reported infestations or eradications.

A permit for exterior work (permit sequence number 01) was issued in July 2020, and there was an attempted inspection in June 2020 related to an unspecified complaint, but the inspector was unable to gain access. The building's documented history shows a pattern of plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly during the 2019-2020 period, though many of these have been resolved. Of particular note is the recent rat activity reported in 2025, marking an ongoing pest control challenge for the property.
