157 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
157 East 96th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Samuel Ungar. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in both 2019 and 2022 regarding lack of service throughout the entire building, though inspections were unable to gain access for verification.
In addition, there have been several maintenance issues documented over the past decade, including an unresolved bedbug reporting violation from 2022-2024, a window pane issue in 2019 that was corrected, and an electrical range problem in 2020 that resulted in violations. The building has also faced some infrastructural challenges, including two Class C violations in 2022 regarding defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and a Class C violation from 2020 concerning inadequate gas supply to a kitchen fixture in apartment 6C.
Water-related complaints have been particularly persistent, occurring multiple times between 2019 and 2022, though most of these issues were classified as duplicates of other tenants' reports. The most recent inspection records show open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2022-2024, though no new major maintenance issues have been reported in the past year.
