199 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The four-unit, two-story building at 199 East 94th Street, owned by Charles Husbands, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the building has had persistent problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded in 2019 and 2020 regarding these essential services, including one instance in 2019 where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The property has also faced a series of electrical and safety concerns, including issues with lighting, door security, and emergency systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in early 2020. Of particular concern is the building's current open violation status regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021-2024. The building's maintenance history includes several environmental and safety violations, most notably an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2019 regarding unauthorized construction work to create an additional room on the first floor, for which a $6,250 penalty was imposed.

There have been repeated issues with unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and garbage storage problems, as documented in multiple complaints in 2019. Security concerns were highlighted in 2019 with violations regarding malfunctioning door hardware at the building's main entrance. While many of the historical complaints were closed without violations being issued, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and water, suggests potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
