155 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

155 East 96th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Clavia Campbell. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with three heat/hot water complaints received in July 2024 alone, though reports indicate these were resolved or determined to be duplicate complaints.

In April 2023, multiple issues were reported and inspected, including plumbing problems (toilet and sink), mold concerns, pest issues, and ceiling paint/plaster conditions. The building currently has several open violations from April 2023, including requirements to post proper gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide device requirements, and heating system contact information. Specific violations also remain regarding a defective self-closing door at the building entrance and various maintenance requirements for apartment 1R, including repairs to a broken window pane, ceiling issues, and leaky bathtub faucets.

The boiler situation has been a point of concern, with a Department of Buildings inspection in March 2023 resulting in violations related to exposed wires, holes in the boiler room, and water heater discharge requirements, though these were resolved with a penalty of $625. The building’s bedbug report for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infestations, with zero infested or eradicated units reported, suggesting proactive pest management. While the heating system has been problematic, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2024, it's notable that these issues have often been resolved relatively promptly, though access difficulties were encountered during some inspections.
