442 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit building at 442 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Heidy Dorgerville, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with notable concerns centering around plumbing, electrical systems, and pest control. In May 2019, the building faced multiple complaints requiring HPD intervention, including issues with sinks, bathtubs/showers, toilets, cabinets, electrical outlets, and pest-related sanitary conditions.

While HPD managed to conduct inspections of the plumbing issues (bathroom fixtures) and found no violations, they could not gain access to inspect several other reported problems, particularly concerning the pest issues, which remain unresolved in terms of inspection outcomes. Most concerning is the building's persistent failure to comply with annual bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024, indicating an ongoing issue with pest management.

These violations have been classified as Class A, signifying their potential impact on tenant health and safety. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges that, while many were addressed at the time of reporting in 2019, suggests potential ongoing issues with building maintenance and communication with regulatory agencies.
