475 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, ten-unit residential building at 475 East 95th Street, East Flatbush, owned by Israel Frankel, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning basic utilities. Most notably, in November 2023, the building faced simultaneous heat/hot water and electrical power outage problems, with HPD responding to both emergencies.

While heat and hot water service was reportedly restored, the power outage investigation did not result in any violations. This pattern of utility issues is not new; a similar heat/hot water complaint was filed in November 2019, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification at that time. The building's maintenance history shows three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2023, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though no actual infestations were reported in the subsequent filings.

The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows zero infested units, continuing a pattern of successful eradication since 2019 when the building had its first inspection. Notably, a rodent inspection conducted in August 2010 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no current rodent problems. Despite the recent utility issues, the building's record shows proper response to emergencies and no pattern of unresolved complaints, suggesting that while maintenance issues occur, they are generally addressed promptly when reported.
