292 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

292 Manhattan Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Williamsburg, owned by Anthony Morena and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in May 2019, which was resolved within days. During 2018-2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems, with at least one instance of violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A series of maintenance issues were documented in 2019 affecting Apartment 2R, including problems with electrical outlets, plastered surfaces, bathroom door, exposed wiring, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and kitchen sink cabinet. The building has been subject to two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 regarding unauthorized work and occupancy issues, though these were primarily related to an adjacent property (130 Devoe Street). In more recent years, the building has shown improvement in certain areas.

There have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2023-2025), and the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The building's owners have maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units. The most recent housing maintenance code violations inspection in March 2023 resulted in a notice regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, though this appeared to be an administrative notification rather than a health/safety concern. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues in the past, the absence of recent health/safety violations and consistent bedbug management suggests improved maintenance practices in recent years.
