144 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

This two-story, four-unit residential building at 144 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Dovber Lipskier and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most recently in December 2024 when an entire building complaint was closed without HPD inspection due to access issues. Similar heat-related complaints occurred in November 2019, with two separate incidents where inspectors were denied access to investigate, plus one completed inspection that may have yielded results available on HPD's website.

The building had a notable violation in 2019 regarding self-closing doors at apartments 1F and 2R, which was promptly addressed, and was required to file an annual bedbug report in 2022. The bedbug reporting history from 2018 through 2024 shows consistent documentation with zero infestations reported during all filing periods. While the property underwent construction-related work in September 2019 that required two permits (for plumbing and electrical work), rodent inspections in 2015 showed mixed compliance results, with one inspection passing and another failing for unspecified reasons.

The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with heating systems, particularly during the winter months, though the absence of recent bedbug or rodent issues indicates improved pest management. The most significant concerns appear to be around heating maintenance and access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple complaints where HPD was unable to conduct proper evaluations. While the building has had various maintenance and compliance requirements over the years, including door modifications and bedbug reporting obligations, these have generally been addressed promptly once identified.
