796 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 796 Greene Avenue property, a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Chaim Eigner, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, though recent data suggests improvements. The building underwent multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections between 2019 and 2024, with concerns about food establishments, including documented issues with rodent/insect problems and food contamination in 2019, along with letter grading concerns in 2020.
While these health-related violations were eventually addressed, their frequency is noteworthy. The property consistently received Housing Maintenance Code violation notices from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings indicate no reported infestations from 2019 through 2025. Recent inspections present a mixed but improving picture: the building faced Environmental Control Board violations in December 2023 related to improperly installed window AC units, though this was resolved without penalties, and a gas utility inspection in 2021 resulted in an inability to access the unit.
Rodent inspections show mostly compliant results, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing successfully, though there was a rat activity report in November 2024. The most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 for the period November 2023 - October 2024 indicates zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2020, with only one rat activity report in late 2024 deviating from this pattern.
