Top insights
- 130 open hazardous (Class C) violations
- More HPD complaints than the neighborhood average (45 vs ~30)
- Built in 1965 (city records)
- Rent-stabilized: 47 units registered
A difference between the DHCR rent-stabilized count and the PLUTO total is common and does not, on its own, indicate a violation: units can leave rent stabilization legally, the two datasets count units differently, some units may be non-residential, and a registration can be filed incompletely. To check your own apartment, see how to request your rent history from DHCR.

- City records show 361 open HPD violations, 130 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2004 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 47 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Replace or repair the self-closing doors that is missing or defective entrance door….
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
888 East 96 Street sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11236. The closest subway is Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy (L) (6-minute walk), served by the L line.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: July 2004 · Most recent: October 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
