387 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 387 East 96th Street, owned by Remington Richmond, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code requiring annual bedbug reports that have not been properly filed.

The most substantial cluster of incidents occurred in December 2018-January 2019, when the building faced multiple electrical system issues, including wiring problems, power outages, and outlet/switch concerns, some of which were classified as emergencies. Additional complaints during this period documented unsanitary conditions with pests and paint/plaster deficiencies.

A subsequent inspection on January 2, 2019, specifically cited multiple violations in apartment 2R, including the presence of mice, defective plastered surfaces, paint requirements for uniform color, and issues with electrical switch covers, all of which were noted as open violations without confirmed certification of resolution. While some of these earlier violations may have been addressed, the recurring nature of these issues, particularly the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, suggests continuing challenges with maintaining proper housing standards in this building.
