288 East 98th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 288 East 98th Street in Brownsville, owned by Samuel Jarrett, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most frequent problems relating to heat and hot water provision. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water failures, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued for some of these incidents. Additional concerns during this period included electrical outlet problems (2020) and reports of mold (2022), though the latter received no violations after inspection.

A significant cluster of complaints in January 2022 involved multiple issues including heating problems, cooking gas concerns, and mold, all categorized as emergencies. The building's maintenance history also reveals several safety and maintenance matters that required attention. In March 2020, there were building-wide heat and hot water issues, and in late 2021, multiple violations were documented specifically in apartment 2F, including mold presence, electrical outlet safety, and painting requirements, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in early 2022.

An important safety inspection in December 2018 resulted in violations regarding smoke detector compliance. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with the most recent report from July 2024 showing zero infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, suggesting successful management of past infestations. The building's documented history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with multiple bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024, though the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating infrastructure, which appears to have improved based on recent bedbug management protocols.
