279 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The four-story, 37-unit tenement building at 279 East 92nd Street in East Flatbush, constructed in 1927 and owned by 279 East 92nd Street Associates, has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most recently, in May 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found access issues during a rodent inspection, though a subsequent inspection later that month passed.
Throughout 2024, there were multiple incidents of water-related problems, including two "heavy flow" water leak complaints in September, along with issues with mold, bathroom plumbing, and various other maintenance concerns. The building has had documented rodent activity, with failed inspections in November 2024 and May 2023, and a compliance inspection in December 2024 showing rat activity. The property has a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with plumbing (toilet and water leaks), electrical systems (no lighting), and unsanitary conditions (mold).
Notably, there were violations regarding an unauthorized electromagnetic locking mechanism at the building entrance, which was cited as a Class C violation in September 2024. While the building has a history of bedbug incidents, with one reported case in 2022-2023 and another in 2024-2025, recent filings indicate no current infestations. The building's management has generally addressed reported issues, as evidenced by the closure of many complaints following inspections, though some violations, such as encumbrances blocking fire escape egress and water leak issues, remain open or were poorly resolved.
