231 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 231 East 94th Street, owned by Anthony Hall, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning are two recent heat and hot water complaints in 2023 (November and February) affecting the entire building, for which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection.

Prior to these, there was an emergency sewage-related complaint in January 2020 that was similarly closed without inspection access. Currently, the building has four open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation issued in April 2024. These persistent violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, combined with the recent heat and water issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and tenant services.

The building's history, dating back to its 1931 construction, shows a pattern of maintenance access issues, as evidenced by the consistent inability of HPD inspectors to enter the premises during heat and water-related emergencies. The repeated nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years (2021-2024) and the recent heat and water problems indicate potential challenges with building management's compliance with housing maintenance requirements. While there is no recent inspection data available from October 2023 onward to indicate any improvements or changes to the building's condition, the existing open violations and service request history suggest ongoing maintenance concerns.
