323 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

323 East 96th Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Enid Todd-Melville. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning its heating system. Between October and December 2018, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water failures, with inspections confirming violations during December 2018 that remained open into 2025.

These violations included inadequate heat supply throughout Apartment 1R, mold issues on the south wall, water leak problems in the ceiling, and defective plastered surfaces. The building has also faced consistent regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting, with four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to submit the required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing in July 2024 indicates no current infestations or eradication efforts needed. The most recent inspection in 2024 revealed a bedbug reporting violation from earlier in 2023, while a new permit was issued in June 2023 for unspecified work at the property.

Of particular concern are two unaddressed violations from December 2018 regarding boiler room access and heating system access in the public hall, which could impact maintenance response times and resident comfort. While there have been no reported heating issues since the 2018 incidents, the pattern of violations and service requests suggests past challenges with the building's infrastructure. The property has maintained compliance with various other housing regulations in recent years, with no significant complaints or violations reported in 2022-2025 beyond those mentioned above.
