95 Legion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 95 Legion Street in Brownsville, owned by Zach Spira and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the past year. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025 and 2024, with violations issued by HPD inspections in April and March 2025.

The building has also faced significant plumbing and water supply problems, with several emergency complaints between September and October 2024. Open violations as of 2024 include concerns about the building's fire escape egress, infestation issues in apartment 2B (including roaches), and multiple maintenance concerns including broken plaster surfaces and inoperable smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2B. Historical records indicate the building has faced challenges with unauthorized transient use, with open ECB violations as of 2022 related to apartment 4A being converted for transient use, including penalties totaling $35,500.

The building's management has a pattern of not providing proper access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspections where access was denied or not granted. Additional historical concerns include elevator service issues noted in 2021 and illegal hotel room complaints in 2022, both resulting in Oath violations. While there have been no recent bedbug or rodent infestation reports (with the last rodent inspection showing a passed result in 2017), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly regarding heat, water, and general maintenance compliance.
