631 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236
631 East 96th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush, built in 1940 and currently owned by Asher Sussman. The building's recent history reveals persistent issues with sanitation and maintenance, including two documented incidents of mold (most recently in April 2024) and recurring problems with garbage/recycling storage (April 2024 and multiple times in 2021). Safety concerns have been documented regarding fire escapes, with violations recorded in both 2021 and 2022, though all inspections resulted in no violations being issued.
The building experienced various maintenance challenges between 2021 and 2022, including problems with mailbox functionality, door closures, and leaky faucets, with housing maintenance code violations being properly certified as corrected. The property has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2025, consistently showing zero infested or eradicated units. However, there are significant outstanding issues, including an active violation issued in June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection.
The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with multiple failures recorded in 2014 and 2018, though some compliance inspections have resulted in passes. The Department of Buildings received an illegal conversion complaint in 2019, but access to the property was not achieved for inspection. While the building has had multiple HPD complaints and violations over the years, most recent inspections have resulted in no violations being issued, indicating that many historical issues have been addressed, though some remain unresolved as of October 2023.
