473 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement at 473 East 92nd Street in East Flatbush, built in 1927 and currently owned by Jean Aristide, has been experiencing ongoing heat and hot water system issues throughout 2024-2025. Between January 2025 and February 2025 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding building-wide heating and hot water problems, with at least five instances of HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The building has an open violation from March 2024 regarding mice infestation in Apartment A4, and a history of similar pest issues is documented from January 2025.

Additional maintenance concerns have been noted, including problems with windows, door frames, and various apartment-specific issues such as plumbing defects. A comprehensive inspection in September 2023 revealed multiple violations in Apartment B4, including problems with plumbing fixtures, window frames, and carbon monoxide detection devices, all of which were subsequently closed by November 2023. Historical records from 2018 show significant rodent activity, with multiple inspections confirming rat presence, though more recent rodent documentation shows improved conditions.

The building's services have experienced recurring heating system challenges, with system failures documented through multiple 311 service requests. While the building has maintained a pest-free status regarding bedbugs in recent years, as per the last five annual reports, the ongoing heat and maintenance issues raise concerns about the overall building conditions. The property has undergone multiple HPD inspections throughout 2023-2025, with some inspections requiring follow-up due to access issues, particularly during the winter months when heating system problems were most prevalent.
