547 East 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, three-unit building at 547 East 92nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Israel Frankel, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1920. Most recently, in late 2024 and into early 2025, there were unsanitary conditions involving pests that resulted in HPD violations.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with two separate water leak complaints in March 2021 (one involving slow leakage and another with heavy flow), and multiple plumbing-related problems reported in May 2021, including sewer issues and various other maintenance concerns. The property has undergone several inspections and faced various violations over the years, including multiple notices of violation in 2021 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and significant issues in 2015 concerning various maintenance matters in the basement apartment (including problems with plaster surfaces, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, and water leaks).

In May 2021, multiple complaints were filed and addressed, covering issues such as fire escape safety, door/window conditions, and unsanitary garbage storage. While there were multiple pest-related complaints between 2015 and 2025, the bedbug reporting data shows no recorded infestations in recent years, with consistent reports of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the annual reporting periods from 2021 through 2024. The most recent building maintenance activity suggests ongoing attention to pest control, as evidenced by the December 2024 pest complaint and subsequent inspection.
