127 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 127 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Dominique Supplice, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024. The most notable ongoing concerns relate to ceiling conditions, with multiple complaints filed in September 2023 remaining unresolved as of August 2025, despite some violations being issued. These ceiling issues have been categorized under both emergency and non-emergency complaints, while a water leak complaint from September 2023 is also currently in progress.

The building has faced multiple housing maintenance code violations, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 revealing ongoing issues including an open violation for roof leakage affecting the 2nd story public hall ceiling, and a violation regarding light-colored paint requirements for the west and north walls at the bulkhead. Other significant past violations include a 2023 finding of mice infestation in apartment 2R, which remains open, and issues with defective plastered surfaces, door self-closing mechanisms, and carbon monoxide detection equipment in that same unit. The building has undergone various repairs as indicated by the closure of multiple violations, including a March 2022 resolution of plumbing, door, and ceiling issues, though these problems appear to have recurred. The property's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges related to water infrastructure, structural integrity, and basic safety features.

A recent complaint regarding potential illegal conversion of a neighboring property (11212) was entered in March 2025, though access was denied during the first inspection attempt. Interestingly, the building has maintained a pest-free status according to the bedbug reporting system, showing no infestations or eradications between November 2022 and October 2023. The current violation status as of August 2025 includes open violations related to mice infestation, ceiling repairs, and safety equipment, though some violations from 2023 inspections have been closed. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention is required to address basic habitability issues, despite some improvements being documented through violation closures over time.
