274 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building at 274 East 93rd Street, owned by Peter Murray, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and safety issues since late 2024. The most recent wave of complaints in June 2025 revealed multiple plumbing problems including issues with radiators, bathtubs/showers, and sinks, as well as pest-related concerns. These complaints were accompanied by violations indicating required improvements, though some conditions were inspected and found not to violate HPD housing laws.

Prior to this, in April 2025, there were complaints about mold and various unsanitary conditions. The building has also faced significant issues in apartment 4C, including multiple code violations related to pests (mice and roaches), water damage, and safety systems including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations were subsequently certified as addressed. The property has shown evidence of rodent problems, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 noting rat activity, though a June 2025 compliance inspection passed.

Historical records show the building has maintained its status as a New Law Tenement since its construction in 1927, with relatively few complaints about systems like the elevator or adjacent buildings, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years. While there have been various violations noted over time, including an energy efficiency requirement in 2022 and a 2017 boiler inspection in 2019, most have been resolved or dismissed. Recent inspections have focused on compliance with pest control regulations, with mixed results but some recent passing compliance inspections.
