73 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 39-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 73 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, managed by Rutland Rock LLC, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most pressing are ongoing mold issues, with three documented complaints in 2025 (May and June) resulting in HPD violations. The building has faced recurrent heating and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints recorded between January and February 2025, some involving the entire building.
Water-related issues are also concerning, with both slow and heavy leaks reported in 2025, and a notable history of similar problems evidenced by previous violations. The building's maintenance record shows several concerning violations from late 2024, particularly in Apartment C8 on the 3rd floor, including defective electrical fixtures, exposed wiring, missing smoke detectors, and a non-functioning carbon monoxide detector. Structural concerns have been documented, with Department of Buildings complaints in 2022 indicating potential stability issues and the building being placed under structural monitoring. A March 2023 inspection revealed a ceiling collapse affecting a ground-floor commercial space with water leakage.
The facade has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints and violations noting disrepair, cracks, and problems with the parapet wall. While the building has had periodic rodent inspections, showing some compliance failures in 2021 and 2022, there have been no documented bedbug infestations reported since early 2024, following several eradications between 2019-2023. The building, constructed in 1926, has documented emergency violations related to plumbing, mold, water leaks, and heating systems, and historical complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. Recent inspections and violations indicate persistent maintenance issues that affect basic services and safety systems, particularly regarding water damage, heating, and life safety equipment.
