800 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

800 Greene Avenue, a three-story, three-unit building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Daniel Shaw Jr and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, in February 2024, the Department of Buildings issued violations related to unauthorized construction of new exterior stairs from grade level to the first floor, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $2,500.

While one of these violations was resolved, the other remains active with an outstanding balance due of $630. The building has also faced recurring administrative issues, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though these violations were subsequently closed.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained good pest control standards, with rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2019 through 2025 consistently resulting in "Passed" ratings. The most recent bedbug report filed in March 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated no infestation issues, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. The property has also demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, as evidenced by successful inspections over the past several years, though it's worth noting that eight of the nine inspections were classified as "Initial," which is atypical for buildings with established pest control programs.
