420 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 420 Henry Street in Cobble Hill has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent concern being an active bee/wasp problem as of October 2024. The building suffered from substantial heat and hot water system failures in January 2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout the month, leading to several Class C violations including inadequate heat and hot water supply, gas range issues, and missing safety devices in Apartment 1A.
These violations were eventually certified as corrected, though there remains an open violation from January 2020 regarding an obstructed fire escape at the 2nd story balcony. More recent concerns include a plumbing water supply issue from December 2023 through March 2024, which was closed without inspection access, and a bedbug reporting violation from April 2024 requiring annual bedbug report filing.
The building's bedbug history shows consistent compliance with no infestations reported in inspection periods from 2019 through 2025, with the most recent filings (2025-06-06 and 2024-11-21) indicating no infested units or eradication efforts required. The current owner, Gregory O'Connell, has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no recorded infestations or re-infestations across multiple years, suggesting effective pest management practices despite the building's age and historical maintenance challenges.
