123 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

This two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 123 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, built in 1930 and currently owned by Fishel Schlesinger, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years. The most recent inspection in June 2023 identified a violation regarding a defective self-closing door at the second-story bulkhead, while previous violations from 2020 highlighted multiple issues in apartments 2F and 2R, including problems with self-closing doors, window guards, and excessively hot water (over 130 degrees).

There were also emergency plumbing issues in January 2020 and multiple complaints in December 2019 related to doors and pest control, though all these cases were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance record shows recurring concerns about door security and window safety, particularly in 2018-2020, with violations requiring repairs to self-closing doors at both the building entrance and individual apartments.

Notably, recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 have consistently shown zero infestation cases, indicating effective pest management. The building's current maintenance status as of the latest available data shows fewer recent violations compared to earlier years, with only one active violation noted in 2023. The resolution of previous violations, including those related to hot water temperature and window guards, suggests some improvement in building maintenance, though the persistence of door-related issues indicates an ongoing concern in this area.
