497 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 497 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Gershon Eichorn, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

The building has also had recurring safety-related concerns, including a carbon monoxide detector issue reported in May 2023, though no violations were issued upon inspection. There was a temporary heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in May 2023, and earlier that year, complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues.

Other significant prior maintenance events include water leak problems and plaster/paint issues documented in April 2022, where access for inspection was again not granted, and various appliance and wall maintenance concerns were addressed in March 2023. While the building's bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 show no infestations or eradication efforts, indicating effective management of this particular issue, the pattern of maintenance complaints, particularly regarding basic services like heat and water, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has maintained passing results in rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, though a mouse sighting was reported in 2019.
