288 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 288 East 95th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Grace Spooner, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2025, there were multiple violations issued by HPD related to ceiling paint/plaster, an electric/gas range, and a water leak.

From October to December 2024, the building experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with at least five separate complaints during this period, though most were reportedly resolved upon inspection. There are also ongoing violations from 2024 related to an apartment (2F) that include issues with pest infestation (mice), various plumbing concerns, defective floors, missing smoke detector (all noted as Class C violations), as well as painting requirements in multiple rooms and bathroom.

The building's history includes three unresolved Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 totaling $34,000 in penalties related to illegal occupancy and failure to comply with correction orders. A 2024 inspection also noted encumbrances blocking access to the scuttle ladder on the second story as a Class B violation. While there have been bedbug reporting requirements fulfilled between 2019-2022 showing no infestations, and rodent inspections in 2014 (with one failure noted), the building's recent maintenance history shows recurring issues with basic services like heat and hot water, as well as various unresolved violations that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
