435 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 30-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 435 East 92nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Willmohr Holdings LLC, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a power outage that resulted in violations being issued by HPD. Throughout early 2025, there has been a concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between January and February, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

In late 2024, the building faced several significant issues including a slow water leak, mold problems, and multiple violations related to door security and safety systems in apartment 1D, including defective self-closing doors, broken latches, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations were certified on January 2, 2025, and while they are marked as "Close," it is important to note that this typically means the owner has been given time to make repairs rather than indicating immediate resolution. The building's historical maintenance record shows persistent challenges with rodent activity, particularly in 2019-2020 when inspections showed rat activity and required bait application.

Additionally, there has been a documented history of bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2021, though recent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during the 2024-2025 winter period, with multiple emergency complaints filed. While some violations from December 2024 inspections have been addressed, including door and security-related issues, the frequency and variety of recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort. The building, constructed in 1926, has a history of relying on aging infrastructure, and the recent power outage and heating issues may indicate larger systemic problems that could affect resident quality of life.
