38 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The property at 38 East 96th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement built in 1930 and currently owned by Isaac Peters. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with emergency complaints filed in January 2025 and March 2025, though the January incident was confirmed resolved during inspection.
More recently, there was a pest-related complaint filed in March 2025, which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with notices issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infestation cases, suggesting improved management of this issue.
In terms of building maintenance and safety concerns, there was an illegal conversion complaint filed with the Department of Buildings in June 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the complaint during their investigation in October 2019. The property has experienced multiple heating system issues in early 2025, with at least one complaint still open as of March 2025. The building classifies as a New Law Tenement, which typically indicates it has undergone certain regulatory requirements related to building maintenance standards, though the frequency of heating and pest-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
