32 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 32 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, built in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years under the ownership of Sheldon Frank. The most recent significant incident occurred in February 2023, when a heavy water leak was reported and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued in connection with this complaint.

Between March 2023 and April 2024, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations primarily related to safety and maintenance requirements, including problems with self-closing doors at the building entrance and vestibule (classified as Class C violations), and missing or defective safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors (classified as Class A violations). The building's history also shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filings in 2024-2025 (filing period: November 2023 - October 2024) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating successful management of this specific issue over time.

Prior bedbug-related violations were issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023, but these appear to have been properly addressed, as evidenced by the clean recent filings. Additional safety compliance matters, such as the posting of gas leak procedures and the maintenance of proper entry door functionality, were documented in March 2023, though many of these violations were subsequently closed by March 2023, with the exception of certain door-related issues which remained open until April 2023. The building's inspection and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly concerning building safety features and systems.
