548 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, three-unit New Law tenement at 548 East 93rd Street, owned by Peggy Taylor, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during late 2021. Between December 2021 and early 2022, the building faced multiple emergency conditions including heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, heavy water leaks, and unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests.

These problems prompted multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, several of which transitioned to violations requiring correction. Notably, in December 2021, inspections revealed issues in the first apartment (Unit 1), including problems with self-closing doors, plumbing fixtures, plaster surfaces, and evidence of a roach infestation, along with various repair needs such as broken marble saddle at the kitchen entrance and missing escutcheon plates. The building underwent multiple inspections and interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some complaints being closed due to lack of access for inspection.

While more recent Bedbug Reporting filings from 2022-2024 indicate no infestation issues during the reporting periods, it's worth noting that the building's violation history included both Class A and Class C violations, some of which were left open as of the last inspection in December 2021. The property has multiple documented heat and hot water complaints from late 2020 and December 2021, with inspections and complaints suggesting recurring issues with basic building systems. Despite the improvement shown in recent bedbug reporting and the closure of many earlier violations, the historical pattern of maintenance issues raises considerations about the building's upkeep over time.
