902 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 46-unit, 3-story residential building at 902 Liberty Avenue, owned by David Lockwood and constructed in 2009, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024-2025, including at least five emergency complaints involving the entire building or individual apartments.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including a persistent temperature control issue in Apartment 2N (2024) and various plumbing problems documented through multiple HPD inspections. Apartment 3B has been a focal point for violations, with issues ranging from bathroom maintenance concerns (plaster and caulking) to door-related problems, with some violations showing as "Open" as of late 2024. The property has multiple active violations related to elevator maintenance and building systems that remain unresolved as of mid-2025, including failure to file required inspection reports and maintain proper records.

In late 2024, an elevator inspection documented issues with the in-car emergency phone, maintenance log book, and other equipment, with penalties totaling $4,375. While the building has maintained records showing no bedbug infestations since 2020 and passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2015, there have been historical sanitation and pest control concerns, with a 2025 complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests resulting in no violations being issued. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with most being closed after inspections, though some violations, particularly regarding elevator maintenance and energy efficiency compliance, remain active and unresolved.
