445 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 445 East 95th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Cotley Miller and constructed in 1920, has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years. The most pressing ongoing issue has been recurrent problems with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed between October 2023 and October 2024, affecting both entire building and individual apartments. There have also been several complaints regarding door and window issues, particularly in February 2024, along with a water leak and ceiling plaster problems documented in March 2023, which were classified as emergencies.

The building has accumulated several notable violations affecting resident safety and comfort. Most concerning is the open violation from December 2023 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 2F. Other violations include inadequate lighting at the building entrance (July 2024), defective self-closing doors in the public hall (April 2024), and various maintenance issues documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations.

While there were two pests-related complaints in December 2023, no violations were issued. The building's heating system appears to be a persistent problem, with both HPD and Department of Buildings complaints suggesting possible boiler issues, though access problems limited inspection in one instance. The property's most recent Bedbug Reporting (June 2024) indicated zero infestation cases for the period November 2022 to October 2023, maintaining a pattern of no reported infestations since 2020, and there are no current rodent issues recorded, despite previous compliance failures noted in 2014 inspections.
