294 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

This two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located at 294 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Solomon Jacobowitz. The property has experienced recurring issues with water leaks, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints of both heavy flow and slow leaks that resulted in emergency service requests. There are also ongoing concerns about ceiling maintenance, with reports of paint and plaster issues in multiple instances between 2024-2025, some requiring immediate attention. The building has faced several safety and maintenance challenges, including mold and pest infestations reported in 2023, temporary heat and hot water outages in March 2024, and multiple violations related to building safety systems.

Notably, there are three open violations from 2023-2024: concerning the fire escape's drop ladder on the north side, defective self-closing doors in the public hall, and an annual bedbug report that has not been filed as required. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues, particularly in apartment 2, which has documented violations for water leaks affecting multiple ceilings, pest infestations, and various plumbing issues including faucet problems and a defective door lock, all from September 2022. The property has undergone various inspections related to illegal conversion concerns, with inspectors frequently unable to gain access during final attempt inspections in 2018 and 2024. There are also environmental violations recorded in 2018 regarding fire escape maintenance, with one violation active and another resolved with a significant penalty.

The building's permit history shows several permits issued in 2018 for various work, including electrical and plumbing-related work, though concerns about work conducted without proper permits were noted in 2018. The most recent service requests have primarily focused on water-related issues, suggesting ongoing plumbing challenges within the building. The property has exhibited a pattern of inspection difficulties, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their evaluations. While some complaints have been resolved or closed without violations being issued, the frequency and nature of the complaints indicate persistent maintenance and safety considerations that have affected the building over several years.
