104 East 28th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

104 East 28th Street is a 3-story, 2-unit residential building in East Flatbush, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Jossy Joute. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in 2019 when multiple emergency issues were reported and documented, including problems with heat and hot water, electrical lighting failures, cooking gas concerns, and pest infestations.

During this period, violations were issued for these problems, which were subsequently closed, along with an apparent mouse infestation in Apartment 3 that required abatement. The building has faced recurring mold issues, with HPD responding to two separate complaints in October 2018 and October 2022, though they were unable to gain access for inspection in these cases. Most recently, in January 2023, there was a refrigerator-related appliance issue that was resolved through HPD intervention.

Of particular note is the presence of four open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, representing a potential gap in compliance with housing maintenance code obligations. The building underwent various maintenance inspections in 2019 that resulted in multiple identified issues, including the need for light fixture repairs in common areas, specific maintenance requirements for Apartment 3's entrance door, roof leak repairs, and ceiling paint color corrections. While some violations from 2019 have been closed, including those related to hot water provision, the persistence of certain open violations as of 2024 and the historical pattern of maintenance issues suggest a building with ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
