105 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

105 East 96th Street is a four-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Lawrence Beavin. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with plumbing problems being the most recurring theme. Most notably, in February 2020, there were multiple emergency water supply complaints filed by tenants, and in August 2022, there was a bathtub/shower plumbing issue.

A heat and hot water complaint was lodged in June 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the condition. Additionally, there was a power outage reported in July 2018 under the electrical system category. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in January 2018 which revealed several Housing Maintenance Code violations. These included safety and access issues such as the need for proper window guards in Apartment 4C, removal of illegal locking devices at the entrance of Apartment 1H, and the need for various safety and informational postings in common areas regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and building registration information.

The building's rodent inspection record shows one pass and one failure in early 2018, indicating some pest management challenges at that time. However, the most recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 have shown no infestations whatsoever. While some building-wide conditions have persisted over the years, it's worth noting that all service requests have been closed, though not all inspections resulted in violations being issued. The building has maintained a relatively stable condition in terms of pest control, with no reported rodent or bedbug issues in the past few years.
