69 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The property at 69 East 94th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Digna Mathurin. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particularly notable problems in 2022-2023 related to electrical systems, heating, and building safety. Open violations as of April 2024 include three concerning the submission of annual bedbug reports, and multiple issues from February 2023 in apartment 1F related to safety equipment, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective self-closing doors, and broken ceramic tiles in the kitchen.

The building has a problematic history with unauthorized modifications, particularly in the basement where there are active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 regarding illegal occupancy and bathroom installations, with fines totaling $12,500 still outstanding. These violations stem from unpermitted modifications creating additional living spaces with bathroom facilities in the basement, and there is also an active violation regarding unapproved electrical equipment and wiring from April 2022. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure issues, including multiple heating/hot water complaints (both for the entire building and individual apartments) and electrical problems such as lighting outages and appliance issues, particularly during 2022-2023.

Routine 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented for various issues, including ceiling plaster/paint problems, water leaks, and pest control concerns. While many past complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, the building does have several open violations requiring attention, particularly those related to safety equipment and the need to file bedbug reports. Two emergency complaints were filed in January 2025 regarding door issues, suggesting ongoing concerns with building access points. The building underwent multiple inspections in 2022 regarding illegal basement conversions, with some inspections leading to Oath Violations being served, though not all complaints resulted in violations being upheld.
