891 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

891 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Trina Daniels. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in early 2021 when multiple complaints were filed between January 2 and January 9. In 2022, there were several unaddressed complaints regarding plumbing, smoke detectors, and heat/hot water issues, all of which HPD could not inspect due to access restrictions.

Most recently, in October 2023, a door-related complaint was filed and closed without inspection access. The building has also faced some significant safety and maintenance concerns. In 2023, violations were issued regarding self-closing doors and safety equipment, including a carbon monoxide detector, though these were subsequently certified as corrected.

A notable egress violation from 2019 involved a blocked second means of egress through a front window, which resulted in multiple ECB violations and fines, though these were ultimately resolved. While the building has maintained regular rodent inspections with successful passing results, there have been persistent issues with verifying bedbug report compliance, resulting in several violations between 2020 and 2024. The property underwent some work in 2023, as evidenced by the issuance of emergency work permits, though there was a temporary stop work order associated with the project. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access-related issues preventing inspections and resolution verification, particularly during the 2021-2022 period, and while many violations have been closed, they indicate a history of maintenance and safety compliance challenges that persisted for several years.
