95 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

At 95 Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn, this 5-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building from 1920, currently owned by Steven Murphy, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Between March and May 2025 alone, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints, including issues with toilets, slow water leaks, and bathtub/shower problems, some of which resulted in HPD violations. There were also heat and hot water complaints during this period, with HPD unable to conduct proper inspections due to access issues.

The building shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with violations recorded in October 2024 related to electrical systems, lighting, and security features, including a non-functioning intercom system in Apartment 1. Prior to 2025, several significant incidents are noteworthy, including three complaints about work being done without proper permits in 2023, and a 2023 boiler-related issue that resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The building has faced various infrastructure challenges over the years, with documented problems including broken tiles, defective lighting fixtures, problematic windows, and leaky faucets in Apartment 1 as of October 2024.

Notably, there is an active ECB violation from October 2023 regarding an unregistered Weil-McLain boiler, with associated penalties. Despite these issues, recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed passing results, indicating successful pest management. The building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly in plumbing, heating, and electrical systems, with multiple instances of HPD unable to gain access for inspections, suggesting potential communication or coordination issues between tenants and management.
