143 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit building at 143 East 96th Street, owned by Marjorie Raymond and dating from 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024. Multiple complaints were filed in February 2024 regarding various issues including flooring problems, mold, cabinet issues, plumbing concerns, and water leaks - both heavy flow and slow leaks - with violations being issued in some cases.

In August 2024, additional violations were documented regarding defective self-closing doors at both the building entrance and vestibule on the first story, though these were later marked as closed. The building has also faced structural and maintenance challenges, including problems with the bathtub finish in Apartment 1F, issues with bricks and mortar at the front parapet wall, and chimney problems on the roof, with some violations remaining open as of 2025. The property has a history of boiler-related issues, with multiple complaints recorded in 2022 regarding defective or inoperative equipment, and an active ECB violation from 2022 citing an unregistered non-working boiler.

While the building has been subject to HPD inspections and various service requests, the bedbug reporting history shows no infestations from 2019 through 2024, with consistent reports indicating no units affected. More recent concerns include an emergency complaint regarding floor issues and plumbing problems in March 2024, though many of these complaints were closed shortly after inspection in March 2024. The building's environmental control board violations include one from 2022 regarding an unregistered boiler and another from 2020 concerning an illegal curb cut, both of which remain active with associated penalties.
