367 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 367 East 96th Street, owned by Nicholas Samuel and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being recurring heat and hot water problems. Most recently, a heat/hot water emergency was reported in February 2024, which was resolved within two days.

A cluster of complaints from December 2023 brought to light various maintenance concerns, including water leaks, pest issues, and problems with walls, ceilings, and floors, though inspections found no violations associated with these complaints. The building's violation history shows multiple safety-related notices in 2024 regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements and emergency procedures, though these have since been certified as corrected. Notably, while recent bedbug filings for 2023-2024 show no infestations, the building has unresolved violations from a July 2019 inspection of Apartment 2F, including issues with peeling paint, broken bathroom tiles, a defective electrical outlet, and missing window guards.

The property has maintained relatively clear rodent control records, passing the initial inspection in March 2016. The building's management has generally responded to complaints through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with most issues being addressed, though some residents have reported recurring problems, particularly with heating systems. The most recent record as of July 2025 shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three years.
