401 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit building at 401 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Lena Agyeman and built in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heating systems. Most notably, in early 2024, there was an emergency heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building that was resolved by HPD. Previous heat-related complaints include a 2020 incident in the second-floor apartment (2R) involving multiple violations for inadequate heat, hot water, and defective safety devices, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions at the time.

That same year, violations were also recorded for a locked heating system access issue in the cellar. The building has maintained a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 to 2025, with no infested units reported in any of the annual filings, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. More recently, in 2023, there were documented rodent signs and a failed inspection, though no specific violation was recorded.

The property has active open violations from 2020 related to heating, hot water, and safety devices in apartment 2R, as well as access issues to the building's heating system. While the building's most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show zero infested or re-infested units, and the annual reporting requirement appears to be current, the persistence of heating system complaints and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent violations inspections all show as 'Closed,' indicating that while issues were present, they have been formally addressed through compliance processes.
