20 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
20 Henry Street is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Alex Berkett and completed in 2012. The building has experienced several notable issues over its history, with the most concerning being ongoing Heat/Hot Water violations in 2019, and recurring compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, with three open violations related to bedbug report filing. There was a significant façade safety concern in 2018-2020 that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to provide required safety measures, along with two subsequent violations related to inadequate tenant protection plans in 2021.
Building safety and maintenance have been generally addressed, with no active violations as of April 2024 and recent bedbug reports (2025 filings) showing zero infested units. The building experienced one serious systems failure (no heat/hot water) in April 2019, which was reportedly resolved within days. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspection and compliance activity, with the Department of Buildings conducting three tenant safety inspections in 2021, one showing an Oath violation served.
There have been multiple permit issuances for maintenance work between 2018 and 2021, indicating regular upkeep of building systems. Recent filings, including the 2025 bedbug report, show improved compliance with reporting requirements, though there remains one open violation from 2023 regarding annual bedbug report filing. The building has maintained its rodent-free status since initial inspections in 2013 and 2015. The property has had various 311 service requests, including a food vendor complaint in 2019 that was resolved through Health Department inspection.
