455 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The four-story, 30-unit residential building at 455 East 92nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by David Nierenberg, was constructed in 1927 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency reports in late 2024 (most recently in November 2024), suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with this critical building system. Apartment 1C has been the focus of numerous violations, including active citations for pest infestations (roaches and mice), compromised electrical systems, and safety concerns involving fire escape access.

Building-wide concerns include structural issues with the parapet wall (as observed in 2023), and there are open violations related to fire egress and safety concerns as of late 2024. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting regulations, showing no infested units in the past three reporting periods. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations over the years, showing a pattern of maintenance challenges that includes electrical system problems, water leaks, and sanitation issues.

Regulatory actions from 2023-2024 reveal significant concerns about building systems and maintenance compliance, including the need for improved fire safety features and structural support systems. While the building's management has generally responded to violations and service requests (with many issues being marked as "Closed" after intervention), the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges. Recent documentation indicates compliance with rodent control measures, though historical records show periods of rodent activity requiring bait application. The property also has a history of plumbing issues, as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations related to bathroom fixtures.
