92 East 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

92 East 53rd Street, a 32-unit, 4-story multi-family building constructed in 1927 in East Flatbush, is currently facing multiple maintenance and building code challenges. The building has recent documented issues from June 2025 including problems with heating/hot water systems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), window frames, flooring, and plumbing fixtures. Multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations were filed in June 2025, including records of unsanitary conditions with mold and pests, a power outage, and water leak concerns.

Two significant open violations from October 2024 involve mouse infestations in apartments 2C and 4B, and there are ongoing façade maintenance issues noted in an active ECB violation describing cracks, damaged bricks, and eroded mortar joints with a $2,500 penalty. The building's recent history shows persistent maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water systems, plumbing issues, and flooring problems documented in 2025. There is a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with inspection results showing "Rat Activity" in multiple compliance checks between 2023-2024, though a compliance inspection passed in August 2024.

The building has also received several recent violations related to façade maintenance and energy efficiency compliance. Historical context shows the building has been subject to various maintenance inspections and requirements since at least 2019, including permits for exterior work. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and building upkeep that appear to require regular intervention and monitoring.
