210 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

210 East 96th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Blanche Riddick. The property has consistent and recurring issues with housing maintenance code compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024 indicating failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

More recently, in May 2024, there were multiple significant incidents related to facade work that merit attention. The Department of Buildings recorded three complaints on May 20, 2024, including "Work Without a Permit – Occupied Multiple Dwelling" (resulting in a Partial Stop Work Order), and "Site Conditions Endangering Workers," though the latter was determined to have no violations at the time of inspection. Two Environmental Control Board violations were issued the same day, with active penalties totaling $3,750 related to unauthorized scaffold installation and facade repair work involving removal and installation of window lintels.

The building's record also shows an appropriate permit was issued in March 2020 for exterior work, suggesting at least some level of proper documentation for building improvements. The property has maintained a continuous record of bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, though these are administrative in nature rather than directly affecting building maintenance or resident safety. The recent facade work violations indicate more serious safety and compliance issues, though inspections on the same day determined that not all complained-about conditions constituted violations.
