237 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit building at 237 East 94th Street, owned by Abdul Muritala, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest issues since its 1931 construction. Most concerning are the recent health and safety violations, including an active rodent infestation as of May 2025, with follow-up inspections showing failures in June 2025.

The property has accumulated several open violations from June 2023, particularly related to door safety and maintenance requirements - including defective self-closing doors to the cellar and bulkhead areas on both stories, as well as fire safety concerns in the cellar involving broken fire retardant material and unsafe electrical wiring. There have been multiple rodent-related complaints over the years, with initial inspections in 2018, 2021, and most recently in 2025 showing consistent failure to address underlying issues. The building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with both pest control and basic safety compliance.

While bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, the property has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention. A 2023 complaint about unpermitted plumbing work was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access. The building's management has faced multiple violations related to fire safety systems throughout the cellar area, and inspections have repeatedly identified problems with self-closing doors, which are critical for maintaining safety and security in a multi-unit building.
