160 88th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The 16-unit, 4-story residential building at 160 88th Street in Fort Hamilton, owned by Laura Hobgood, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with most concerning problems occurring in 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there was a fire escape safety complaint in April 2025 that resulted in violations being issued, and between March and May 2025, there were problems with window panes and lighting that could not be properly inspected due to access issues.
The building has faced recurring sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints and violations related to garbage/recycling storage between 2024 and 2025. In early 2024, significant issues were documented in apartment B5, including water leaks, carbon monoxide detector problems, and lead paint hazards, though most violations from this inspection were subsequently closed. Additional maintenance history reveals concerns about pests, plumbing issues, and window safety, though the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status for several years, with no infestations reported since 2019.
Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2025 included a complaint about possible illegal hotel rooms, though access was denied during inspection attempts. The property has shown varying compliance with housing codes, receiving both Class A and Class C violations in recent inspections, with most being addressed and closed, except for some remaining issues in the most recent violations. The building's violation history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and environmental hazards, though recent inspection results show some improvement in response to previous complaints.
