62 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 62 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Hezekiah Bowen and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable incidents that warrant attention. Most recently, from March to August 2024, there was a documented issue with an electric/gas range that prompted a Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection; however, no violations were found in this instance.

More concerning is the building's persistent failure to comply with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirement, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024. These bedbug report violations, classified as Class A (serious) violations, indicate the building has not submitted the required documentation for four consecutive years, suggesting ongoing oversight of this mandatory health and safety requirement.

The building's documented history shows a consistent pattern of bedbug report non-compliance, with no evidence of certification being submitted during the specified periods. While the range issue appears to have been addressed with no violations found, the persistent bedbug report violations represent the sole ongoing code compliance issue on record. The property, classified as a "New Law Tenement," is subject to specific regulatory requirements that appear to have been systematically overlooked in recent years, with current violations remaining open as of the latest available data.
