117 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

117 East 96th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, built in 1930 and currently owned by Annette Williams. The building has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with four Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

These violations, classified as "A" violations, were all closed, and recent bedbug report filings (most recent in January 2025) indicate zero infested units, with consistent reports showing no infestation issues since at least 2020. The most significant recent incident affecting the building was a substantial water leak reported in late 2022, which had not been fully resolved until June 2023.

This was classified as an emergency situation and prompted an inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. While this complaint was eventually closed without any violations being issued, the prolonged duration of the water issue may have impacted resident comfort. Notably, there have been no documented repeat issues with either bedbugs or water problems in the past two years, suggesting that these problems may have been resolved, though the building's age and history of maintenance violations warrant attention to ongoing upkeep and maintenance.
