279 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 279 East 95th Street, owned by 279 Capital LLC and built in 1931, has a complex history of maintenance issues and violations. Most notably, in March 2022, significant violations were documented in apartment 1R, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), multiple plaster and paint issues, bathroom plumbing problems, and concerns with kitchen cabinets and windows.

During August 2022, the building experienced several complaints related to ventilation, mold, water leaks, and various maintenance issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations for these complaints. More recent activity includes a March 2023 violation regarding the annual bedbug report, which remains unresolved as of now. The property has undergone multiple inspections for rodent control, with failures noted in 2014 and 2018, and there have been bedbug reports showing consistent monitoring from 2019 through 2025, with no infestations reported during these periods.

The building's maintenance history also shows some permits issued for electrical and plumbing work in 2018 and 2019, and a Department of Buildings complaint in 2025 regarding a boiler issue was resolved with no violations found. While some violations remain open, such as the bedbug reporting requirement and one concerning bathroom flushing apparatus from 2022, the absence of newly reported pest issues since 2019 and recent bedbug reports showing zero infestation counts could indicate improved pest management. The building's overall history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges typical for older NYC tenements, with varying degrees of resolution over time.
