225 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 225 East 94th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Jean Balan, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in August 2023, the building reported non-emergency problems with both a slow water leak and electrical outlet issues - the latter resulting in issued violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A concerning pattern of pest-related issues emerged in 2020, with three separate complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests being documented in October of that year, though these were ultimately resolved. That same summer (August 2020), the building faced multiple emergency situations requiring attention, including problems with smoke detectors, plumbing fixtures (specifically a basin/sink), and window frames, all of which resulted in HPD violations.

Earlier records from 2021 noted a rat sighting that prompted a violation, though no recent rodent-related complaints have been filed. The building, constructed in 1931, has had consistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly with its infrastructure systems, though most recent complaints align with normal wear-and-tear concerns rather than serious safety violations.
