82 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit building at 82 Union Street, owned by Frank Galeano, has experienced several significant health and maintenance issues since its construction in 2007. Most recently, in early 2025, there were multiple reports of rodent activity, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documenting rat sightings on January 19 and 21.

These complaints were followed by a rat activity finding on January 27, though a compliance inspection on February 21 showed that the building passed the inspection. The property has also been cited for failing to file its mandatory annual bedbug report in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, resulting in four open Class A violations as of 2025. In January 2025, there were two separate complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage.

However, inspections conducted by HPD found no violations of housing laws, though these complaints took three months to resolve. The building's bedbug history appears more stable, with reports from 2018 and 2019 showing no infested units, and the most recent filings in 2017-2018 indicating zero infested units, though the violations for failing to submit the reports in subsequent years remain open. The property has passed recent rodent inspections, but the recurring nature of the rodent complaints and the open violations regarding bedbug reporting represent the most notable ongoing issues for this relatively new construction.
