92 Crystal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

92 Crystal Street is a two-family residence built in 1901, currently owned by Mazeda Alam, located in East New York. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during 2023 and early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD regarding entire building heat/hot water problems. While some violations related to these issues (specifically for Apartment 1 and Apartment 2) were issued in March 2023, inspection access was often denied.

The building was cited in 2018 for several maintenance issues in Apartment 1, including a defective flush pipe, broken door to the west yard, and the need for an operational carbon monoxide detector. The property has a history of unauthorized occupancy issues, with illegal conversion complaints recorded in 2018 and 2019. These led to ECB violations regarding failure to comply with Commissioner's Orders for illegal occupancy of three or more additional units, though records indicate these were resolved with no penalties.

There were also rodent activity reports in 2018-2019, though recent inspections show improved conditions. The building's maintenance history includes various repairs and improvement permits issued in 2018 and 2019, suggesting some efforts to address the building's maintenance needs. Most recently, in early 2025, there were complaints about indoor air quality and chemical odors, though inspectors also faced access issues during these investigations.
