461 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

461 East 93rd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jessie Desroches. The property has experienced recurring heating issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems between 2018 and 2022, including some emergency complaints that resulted in violations. The building is currently facing two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020.

There are several outstanding violations related to safety concerns, including a 2022 violation regarding an obstructed fire escape at the second-story balcony and multiple 2018 violations in Apartment 4 involving defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plaster and paint issues, and hot water problems. The building has shown reasonable maintenance practices in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the 2024 filing period and successful rodent inspections in 2018, although there was one failed inspection that same year for unspecified reasons. Various housing maintenance code complaints from 2018-2022 were properly addressed and closed, though several required multiple reporting attempts due to access issues.

The property has undergone regular inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2024, during which the owner was cited for not filing annual bedbug reports as required. While the building has multiple historical complaints and violations, the pattern of heat/hot water issues appears to be the most persistent problem, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has no reported bedbug infestations since 2024 and passed its most recent rodent inspections, suggesting some improvement in pest management.
