289 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit building at 289 East 95th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Nadege Fleurimond and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, is currently facing significant heating system challenges. In late 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing violations after inspections in November 2023.

Notably, these complaints occurred just weeks before winter, with one investigation conducted on November 30, 2023, revealing violations related to inadequate heat supply and hot water access in apartment 1F, along with a locked heating system access door violation. A similar pattern of heating-related issues emerged in December 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to multiple apartments for verification. The building also has an outstanding violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with HPD, which had previously been cited as a violation in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021.

The building's recent history includes a power outage incident in July 2021, though no violations were issued following the investigation. The persistence of heating system problems during late 2023 and the multiple outstanding bedbug report violations suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. Given the nature of these issues, particularly regarding heating systems during winter months, they may significantly impact resident comfort and safety.
