236 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 236 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Sherron Williams and constructed in 1931, has a concerning history of maintenance issues, particularly related to heating systems. From 2019 through 2021, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including four emergency complaints in late 2020 through early 2021 where HPD could not gain access to inspect the reported issues.
A November 2019 complaint of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building resulted in violations being issued. The building currently has several open violations from 2020 that suggest safety and compliance concerns, including lack of proper bedbug reporting, missing inspection certificates, and inadequate notices relating to carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and heating system key access information. There are also violations regarding an illegal double-cylinder lock at the building front gate.
In addition to the heating system issues, there were multiple complaints in 2020 regarding various building conditions, including flooring problems, window frame issues, and unsanitary conditions related to pests, though HPD was often unable to gain access for inspection. The most recent bedbug reporting violations were issued in 2021 and appear to remain unresolved as of April 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both heating system reliability and general building upkeep, with many complaints being closed without proper inspection access and several open violations that have persisted for extended periods.
