95 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

95 Cornelia Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Carlton Samlalsingh. The building has experienced recurrent heating and hot water system issues, with three separate complaints between November 1-2, 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though all were marked as resolved with heating and hot water restoration confirmed by tenants.

More recently, in June 2025, another heating issue was reported and closed. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant concerns, including six open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of November 2023 related to safety and maintenance requirements, encompassing missing required safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as structural issues involving fire-retardant plaster, roof leaks, and other maintenance needs. The property has faced various regulatory challenges over recent years, including active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 and 2023 regarding unsafe scaffolding ($12,500 penalty), unauthorized construction work ($1,250 penalty), and multiple violations concerning illegal additional dwelling units ($60,000 penalty each).

The building has undergone several inspections for rodent control, passing inspections consistently from 2022-2025, though there were previous issues noted between 2012-2013. Additional maintenance concerns have included plumbing issues (with multiple complaints), electrical problems, and safety concerns such as a broken window guard in late 2022. The building's history also shows multiple complaints related to construction work and potential illegal unit conversions between 2022-2023, with associated penalties still showing as active in the Department of Buildings records.
