449 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

449 East 94th Street is a three-story, 13-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Anne Rosenberg. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting either the entire building or individual apartments between 2024-2025.

These weather-sensitive maintenance issues peaked with three separate emergency complaints in February 2025 alone. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, particularly in late 2024, when multiple apartments (2A, 2B, 3A, 3C) were documented with infestations of mice and roaches, leading to Class C Housing Maintenance Code violations that were certified as corrected in November 2024. The property has a concerning history of egress-related issues, with several violations documented between 2019-2021 regarding blocked or improperly maintained exit pathways, particularly involving the building's fire escape and driveway obstructions.

An Environmental Control Board violation from June 2021 noted failure to provide an unobstructed exit passageway, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases from 2019 through 2024, it did not pass initial rodent inspections conducted in January 2019, though it subsequently passed compliance inspection in March 2019. The heating system, despite being a recurring issue, appears to have been temporarily resolved on multiple occasions, as indicated by the closure of various HPD complaints following restoration of services, though new complaints have repeatedly emerged, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.
