543 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 543 East 95th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Celestena Gordon, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues recently. Most notably, in November 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water, paint/plaster issues, and electrical wiring problems. An inspection on November 6, 2024, revealed several violations in apartment 1F, including defective plaster and paint issues in multiple rooms, loose wiring at the ceiling, bathroom maintenance problems, and issues with a defective self-closing door.

While these violations were certified for correction by November 25, 2024, the building has a concerning history of maintenance issues, including a failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2022 and 2023, though subsequent filings from 2023-2025 show no bedbug infestations. Earlier inspections in 2021 noted a violation for not properly posting housing information guides. Most recently, in February 2025, a complaint regarding water drainage issues was referred to the Department of Environmental Protection.

The building's maintenance history raises several concerns, particularly regarding responsiveness to heating system problems and the need for ongoing repairs throughout the building. While there have been multiple violations and service requests, it's worth noting that many have been addressed through inspections or certification of corrections. The property shows a consistent pattern of requiring attention to basic building systems and maintenance, with violations issued under multiple sections of the New York City Administrative Code and Housing Maintenance Code. The annual bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently filed since 2020, showing three consecutive years of no infestations.
