168 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 168 East 95th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Edwin Salomon, was constructed in 1930 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concern being recurring heat and hot water problems, with complaints filed in November 2022 and December 2020.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development's (HPD) investigation into the 2022 complaint was hampered by lack of access to the apartment. In September 2020, multiple violations were documented across various maintenance categories, including broken window guards (safety violation), wall issues requiring paint/plaster work, and plumbing concerns involving the bathtub/shower.

The building currently has several open violations from previous inspections that require attention, including four consecutive years (2021-2024) of failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by Housing Maintenance Code. Specific violations related to Apartment F1 include issues with bathroom ceramic tiles (Class B violation), self-closing entrance doors (Class C violation), and multiple paint-related concerns including the presence of lead-based paint hazards, peeling paint, and the need for proper repairs to fire-retardant plaster in the public hall. The property has had a history of maintenance issues, particularly during 2020-2022, but the lack of recent service requests since late 2022 could indicate either improved conditions or reduced reporting activity.
