95 Fountain Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 4-story, 38-unit building at 95 Fountain Avenue in East New York, owned by Silvestre Pineda and constructed in 1927, has experienced significant plumbing and water-related issues in recent months. Between March 2025 and June 2025, there were multiple reports of water leaks in various forms including heavy flow, slow leaks, and damp spots. The building has also faced other pressing maintenance concerns, such as mold problems and plumbing issues, notably involving toilets and bathtub/showers.

Current Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate ongoing concerns, particularly in Apartment B8, where there are open violations related to water leaks, mold conditions, and inadequate smoke/carbon monoxide detector coverage. Historical data shows a pattern of water-related issues, with violations issued and emergency service requests for heavy flow water leaks in February and March 2025. The building's maintenance history includes previous rodent activity concerns in 2017-2018, though more recent inspections have shown improvement. Notably, there is an active violation from December 2024 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores, though a similar violation from 2021 was dismissed.

The property has demonstrated some challenges with responding to inspection requests, as evidenced by multiple instances where inspectors were unable to complete inspections or did not receive timely responses from residents. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the building continues to face various maintenance issues requiring attention. Three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from recent inspections (late 2024) include problems with mold, water leaks, and bathroom fixtures in Apartment B8. The building was built in compliance with New Law Tenement regulations, but recent and recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and prompt response to violations, despite some historical improvements in pest management.
