124 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 124 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Cheryl Christopher, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its construction in 1920. The most significant incident occurred in February 2022, when residents reported a building-wide heat and hot water outage that prompted investigations by both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code authorities, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has been subject to repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations recorded in February 2022, March 2023, and April 2024, though these were likely administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation. However, the positive news is that all bedbug inspection filings from 2020 through 2024 show no evidence of infestation, with reports consistently indicating zero infested units and no eradication or re-infestation cases.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2023, filed in July 2024, confirms this continued record of infestation-free status. The building's regulatory history suggests that while there have been administrative oversights regarding bedbug reporting compliance, the actual pest management situation has been effectively maintained, and the heat and hot water situation that prompted the 2022 complaints appears to have been an isolated incident, as no subsequent complaints of this nature have been recorded through October 2023.
