22 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 17-unit, 4-story building at 22 East 96th Street, owned by Mark Weinberger, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in spring 2025, when multiple complaints were filed between March 20 and April 3. These complaints included problems with heat and hot water (affecting the entire building), unsanitary conditions involving garbage and recycling storage, electrical issues with lighting, and various other maintenance concerns. Eight out of ten complaints during this period could not be properly investigated due to lack of access for HPD inspectors.
The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with heating systems, as evidenced by two separate heat/hot water complaints in March 2025, though these issues were originally reported by tenants. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of October 2023, primarily related to Apartment 4B, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, flooring, bathroom tile, radiator valves, and safety systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. An inspection conducted on December 23, 2024 revealed several violations in this apartment.
Further complicating the building's maintenance record, there have been concerns about rodent activity, with inspections in early 2025 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 resulted in a "Passed" designation. The building has experienced two building shaker/vibration complaints in 2025, with violations served, and issues regarding potential illegal conversions were noted in early 2025, though access was denied for inspection. While the building's management has addressed some issues, as evidenced by various closed complaints, the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. However, it's worth noting that the bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show zero infestation cases during these periods, indicating successful pest management in this area.
