96 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 96 Bradford Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Lucy Prokopiou, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly related to tenant health and safety. Most concerning are the unsanitary conditions reported in August 2024, involving both mold and pest problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations. As of August 2024, there are three open Class C violations in apartment 1F related to lead paint hazard notifications and the condition of self-closing doors, which are required to be repaired under various housing codes.

The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2020 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with the requirement to file annual reports as mandated by HPD. Additionally, there was an incident in 2018 involving the removal of a posted vacate order, though this violation was resolved with no penalties. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and violations, with more recent issues primarily focusing on lead paint notification requirements and door maintenance.

The earliest available rodent inspection records from 2011-2012 show one failure to comply, followed by two successful inspections. While the property has passed various inspections over the years, the pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting and the recent mold and pest complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and tenant communication. The property, built in 1925, has been subject to various housing regulations over the years, with the current owner having held the property since at least 2018.
