409 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit building at 409 East 96th Street, owned by Delores Reid, has experienced several significant issues since 2018, with the most pressing concerns centering around safety and management compliance. Most notably, there are ongoing violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement (2021-2024), and active environmental control board violations regarding means of egress and combustible waste (2020-2021) with penalties totaling $61,125.

The building has a history of heat and hot water issues, with a documented emergency complaint in January 2019 that was reportedly resolved, though similar concerns have persisted. In October 2019, the building was placed under a full vacate order due to structural stability concerns, and there are records of work being performed without proper permits. More recent complaints include a rodent-related issue reported to DOHMH in May 2021 that remains in progress, though previous rodent inspections in 2018 had mixed results.

The building's violation history shows a pattern of non-compliance with correction orders, particularly regarding egress requirements, with multiple active violations carrying substantial penalty amounts. Structural concerns have been documented through various complaints and violations, including a 2019 complaint about building shaking/vibration. While some inspections have been completed (such as the 2024 bedbug report violation), there are persistent open violations that suggest ongoing management and maintenance challenges within the building.
