326 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-unit, 2-story building at 326 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Christine Caraway, has been in operation since 1925 and was classified as a "hereafter converted Class A" building. The property has experienced recurring electrical issues, with the most recent complaint registered in August 2023 regarding no lighting conditions, though no violations were issued following an HPD inspection.

Between December 2022 and March 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed simultaneously, including issues with doors/windows, lighting, and safety concerns regarding the fire escape. There were also complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and exterior issues with the skylight and roof door/hatch. The building has undergone annual bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with the most recent filings (2023-2025) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, indicating successful pest management.

The property had three bedbug-related violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. While the building has had multiple maintenance issues over the past few years, most have been resolved, with all recent bedbug reports showing compliance and no current infestations. The property has demonstrated improvement in building management, particularly regarding pest control, though the recurring electrical issues and multiple simultaneous complaints from 2022-2023 indicate there were periods of significant maintenance challenges.
