40 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement at 40 East 95th Street, owned by Dennis Jackson, has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, particularly regarding heat, hot water, and pest infestations. From January to April 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, with several inspections being unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with four separate pest-related complaints between February and April 2025, including issues with cockroaches and other unspecified pests, though inspections were generally unable to gain access for verification. The most concerning pattern emerges from the violation records for Apartment 2F, showing eight open violations from August 2024, including serious issues such as inadequate heat and hot water supply, pest infestation, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing problems, and various maintenance deficiencies.

These violations represent a range of Class B and C issues, indicating varying degrees of severity. While there was one documented heat and hot water violation issued in February 2025 for inadequate service verified in another apartment, many complaints throughout 2025 remain unresolved due to access issues for inspectors. The building, constructed in 1930, has a history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the recurring nature of these complaints and violations, though it should be noted that previous bedbug reports from 2022 and 2023 indicated no infested units.
