283 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The three-story, two-family house at 283 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, owned by Giuseppe Manninio, has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues over recent years.
Most concerning are the active violations as of April 2025, which document problems with a bulging brick wall at the second floor that is cracked and unstable, requiring immediate emergency measures including construction of a safewalk shed and evaluation by a registered professional engineer. This situation follows a pattern of structural concerns, as evidenced by a similar violation from June 2022 citing issues with wall bowing, separation between frame and rough opening of the entrance door, and problems with exposed materials requiring professional evaluation and repair.
The building's history also reveals a troubling rodent infestation problem between 2012 and 2013, with multiple failed inspections during that period despite repeated bait application efforts. While the building was constructed in 1925 and is classified as a two-family house, the recent and ongoing structural violations represent the most pressing concerns for current and future tenants, significantly impacting the building's safety and habitability.
