442 Newport Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 442 Newport Street in East New York, owned by Sharon Bryan, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between 2021 and 2023, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. Notably, in November 2023, an HPD inspection confirmed inadequate heat or hot water in at least one apartment, though they were unable to access all units.

Additional mechanical concerns have emerged, including appliance problems, with violations recorded in February 2023 specifically related to a refrigerator issue. The building's maintenance history from late 2022 reveals several other compliance matters, including violations related to flooring/stairs, though most of the November 2022 complaints were resolved without violations being issued. These included inspections of door/window conditions, an electric/gas range issue, and an unsanitary mold complaint.

An earlier complaint from March 2021 regarding potential illegal commercial use of the property was closed due to lack of access during inspection. Given the pattern of heating system complaints and appliance issues, combined with the building's age (constructed in 1935), residents may experience ongoing maintenance challenges. As of July 2025, there have been no reported complaints or service requests in the past six months, though the building's recent history suggests regular monitoring of building conditions is advisable.
