256 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 256 East 92nd Street property, a two-story New Law tenement built in 1930 and containing 3 units, is currently owned by Earl Joseph. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, with the most recent incident occurring in October 2024 involving water supply issues that HPD was unable to inspect despite responding to the complaint.
During 2018, the building experienced multiple significant issues, including a power outage in December that resulted in violations, and several interrelated problems between November 25-29, 2018, where multiple violations were documented. These included electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing issues (bathtub/shower problems), a slow water leak, and unsanitary conditions related to pests. Additionally, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint in September 2018 that was resolved prior to inspection.
More recently, in March 2025, there was an investigation into work being performed without a permit, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property during their second final attempt. The building's documented history shows a recurring pattern of plumbing and electrical issues, along with occasional heating concerns and pest problems, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. While all previous complaints have been closed, the inability to complete the recent water supply inspection raises questions about current conditions in the building.
