539 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 539 East 95th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Patience Agho and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years. Notably, there were three separate heat and hot water complaints in late 2022 (December 2 and December 10) and one in March 2023, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with HPD confirming restoration of services in each case.

The building currently has several open violations from 2023-2024 that merit attention: these include multiple citations for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, requirements for proper carbon monoxide detector notices, issues with the building entrance door, and necessary notifications regarding gas leak procedures. A 2023 violation specifically noted defective self-closing doors at the public hall entrance, though this was marked as closed after certification of repairs in April 2023. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of emergency heat and hot water issues, particularly in the latter half of 2022 and early 2023, though these appear to have been resolved on each occasion.

The property has multiple open violations relating to building safety and maintenance requirements, including the need for proper documentation and notifications regarding bedbugs, carbon monoxide safety, and gas leak procedures. While there was an emergency cooking gas complaint in August 2022, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions at that time. Regular monitoring of the building's compliance with HPD requirements and prompt reporting of any new maintenance issues would be advisable, based on the building's documented history.
