92 Hawthorne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

92 Hawthorne Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Lucy Baumrind. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in November 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Although heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections, the situation prompted multiple emergency service requests. In March 2020, the building faced additional challenges with plumbing issues, including a sink problem and a slow water leak, which remain concerning as inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building has also accumulated various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including an open violation from 2016 regarding the need for maintenance work in Apartment 9 (repairing floor, window, and ceiling issues), as well as more recent violations from 2019-2020 concerning window guards and a locked gate at the front yard that impeded fire escape access.

More recent records indicate improved conditions in certain areas, as evidenced by the absence of pest issues in annual bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024, with only one reported case in 2018 that was promptly resolved. The building's management has maintained active compliance with posting requirements for the superintendent's information, though a violation from 2010 remains listed as open. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly relating to heating systems and plumbing, recent services and inspections show efforts to address various building codes and maintenance requirements, with most violation statuses being marked as closed, though several from 2016 concerning Apartment 9 and a 2010 violation regarding superintendent contact information remain open as of the latest inspection dates.
