69 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

69 East 95th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Melanie Ward. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between November 2023 and March 2025, though most recent complaints indicate these problems were resolved upon HPD investigation. The building has also faced electrical issues, most recently in March 2025 when lighting problems were reported and subsequently resolved.

Several complaints regarding pest issues have been documented, including a rat sighting in August 2024 and evidence of cockroach infestation in Apartment 2 as of August 2024. Multiple violations remain open from an August 2024 inspection, including faulty self-closing doors at various locations, requirements for proper building signage, and access to the heating system. Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building maintenance and safety features.

Open violations include missing or defective door hardware and multiple issues related to building safety notices and inspection certificates. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs and major plumbing issues, with no infestations reported between 2019 and 2023 and no significant plumbing violations found during inspections in December 2023. The property has undergone several inspections for unauthorized work, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, though inspectors were frequently unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. While many individual service requests have been addressed and closed, the pattern of recurring heating system problems and outstanding open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the structure.
