902 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The four-story, 66-unit tenement at 902 44th Street in Borough Park, owned by David Rose, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly during May 2025 when multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues emerged. Between May 25-27, 2025, at least 13 complaints were filed to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), covering both entire building and individual apartment concerns. Some of these complaints resulted in HPD inspections and the issuance of violations, though access issues prevented complete inspections in several instances.

The building has also faced an electrical power outage in June 2025, classified as an immediate emergency. A comprehensive November 2024 inspection of Apartment C11 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with mold, water leaks, plaster surfaces, and lead-based paint hazards. The building has a documented history of pest management challenges, particularly with bedbugs, though recent filings from 2022-2024 show zero infested units.

While there was a rodent inspection in February 2019 that failed, earlier inspections from 2015-2016 had passed. The property has also been subject to several complaints and investigations regarding various building conditions, including electrical wiring (2022), building shaking concerns (2022), and illegal hotel room allegations (2023). Most recently, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency information, and the building has had a recurring issue with water, heat, and electrical systems requiring emergency attention.
