447 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 447 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Esther Robinson, is a 1925 structure that has undergone conversion to Class A status. The building's recent history is notably marked by recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting, with open violations on record for four consecutive years between 2021 and 2024.

Specifically, these violations pertain to the property's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules, with each of these violations remaining unresolved as of the latest available data from October 2023. Additionally, there was a complaint filed in January 2019 regarding an alleged illegal conversion of the property, which was ultimately closed in March 2019 after two inspection attempts failed to secure access to the premises, though this incident dates back several years prior to the current situation.

The consistent pattern of unresolved bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing issue with compliance to basic housing maintenance requirements, though it's worth noting that these violations specifically relate to paperwork requirements rather than direct health or safety concerns. The building's relatively minor complaint history, limited to the single 2019 illegal conversion allegation which was unable to be verified through inspection, does not indicate any significant structural or safety concerns.
