245 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 245 East 92nd Street, built in 1930 and currently owned by Oluwatoyin Yusuf, is experiencing significant ongoing maintenance issues, with the most pressing being an open heat and hot water problem in Apartment 2F documented as of November 2024, where hot water exceeds 130 degrees Fahrenheit. This violation, along with a current mice infestation in Apartment 2F, remains unresolved despite HPD's attempts to notify the property owner.

The building has a history of infrastructure and safety concerns, including multiple emergency complaints in late 2018 regarding flooring problems, electrical issues, and unsanitary conditions, though these were closed without inspection access being granted. In late 2018, there were serious concerns about illegal conversions of the cellar space, with multiple complaints and subsequent DOB violations suggesting unauthorized modifications including the installation of additional apartments with full bathrooms and kitchens.

This led to several Environmental Control Board violations in 2019 for failure to comply with commission orders and file necessary certifications, though these were ultimately resolved. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2025 showing no infestations, the persistent issues with heating and pest control in recent years, particularly the current hot water violation, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
