351 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, 4-unit residential tenement at 351 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Audrey Cox, was constructed in 1930 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns noted around 2019 when multiple violations were recorded involving paint/plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, primarily affecting Unit 2, as well as radiator plumbing problems.

These violations were subsequently closed following inspections. More recent violations include an unresolved open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though no bedbug infestations were reported during the last verified period (2021-2022) with zero infested or re-infested units. The building had several maintenance issues documented in 2019, including problems with self-closing doors (Unit 2F), water leakage in the second-story public hall ceiling, and defective fire-retardant materials in common areas, though most of these violations were eventually closed, with the exception of the bedbug reporting violation.

The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations following inspections and prompt attention to certain repair needs. The property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, with one failure noted in 2015 that was not elaborated upon in the records. The most recent unit count and inspection data (from 2023 and 2025) suggests relatively stable conditions, though the open bedbug reporting violation from 2024 represents the only currently unresolved regulatory issue on record, and additional historical bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024 have been marked as closed.
