456 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

456 East 94th Street is a 4-story, 28-unit residential tenement built in 1928, currently owned by Beavin Lawrence. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with several clusters of complaints related to heating, cooking gas, and appliance problems. Most notably, there were heating and hot water issues reported in October 2023 and December 2022 (both requiring HPD inspections), and multiple cooking gas complaints in April 2023.

The most recent inspection in May 2024 revealed several violations in apartment D2, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plaster and paint issues in the kitchen, problems with fire egress, and an illegal double cylinder lock - though these were certified as corrected between May 22-25, 2024. The building's history shows a pattern of bedbug infestations, with a recent filing in May 2025 showing no current infestations, following a single infestation case in 2022-2023. A significant safety concern was noted in 2022 regarding unauthorized locks on fire escape doors, which was addressed by January 2023.

The property has an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report, and though there were multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2022 and 2024, most have been closed. Past maintenance issues have included occasional appliances problems, as noted in 2023. Rodent inspections conducted in 2018 resulted in passing grades. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, most reported violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, with the exception of the 2019 boiler inspection violation.
