231 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit building at 231 East 96th Street, owned by Linford Mckenzie and constructed in 1931 as a New Law tenement, has several significant maintenance issues on record. Most notably, there are recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, indicating a persistent failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD.
This pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with pest management within the building. The building also has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with a rat sighting reported in May 2019, though an inspection conducted shortly thereafter on May 10, 2019, reportedly passed.
While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene initially investigated the 2019 rodent complaint, it's worth noting that the resolution process suggested this type of complaint typically results in official notification to the property owner. As of the most recent available data from October 2023, the building's violation status remains open for the bedbug reporting requirements, which have been consistently cited across multiple years.
