370 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 370 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Jason Dorset, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning water-related problems. Most notably, there have been two separate heavy water leak incidents reported in 2023 (August and December), with one of these complaints remaining open as of June 2024.

The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water outages, with documented complete system failures in both April 2023 and February 2020, though both were reportedly resolved shortly thereafter. A significant inspection in April 2023 revealed multiple violations that remain open as of April 2024, including safety concerns such as missing or defective self-closing doors at both the first and second-story vestibules, storage of debris in common areas, and several critical safety notification requirements.

These violations include the need to post gas leak procedures, maintain proper building registration signs, and provide carbon monoxide detector requirements. The building's history also shows recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023, indicating ongoing challenges with maintaining proper documentation as required by housing maintenance codes.
