824 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

824 Greene Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Elizabeth Robinson-Thomas and constructed in 1899. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heat/hot water systems and pest control.

Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints about pest problems and lack of heat/hot water, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to complete inspections in both cases. The building has a documented pattern of heating system failures, including a similar heat/hot water complaint for the entire building in May 2023. Additionally, there are ongoing pest management issues, with multiple rodent inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2025, though recent compliance inspections in June and July 2025 resulted in failed evaluations for "Other Reasons." The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, particularly during November 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various systems, including plumbing (bathtub/shower), electrical (lighting and wiring), and water leak issues, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

Other significant concerns include unsanitary conditions such as mold (November 2022) and pest infestations (2025), with the most recent inspections showing continued rodent activity. While there was a bedbug report filed for the period of 2020-2021, it indicated no unit infestations or successful eradications during that time. The property history also shows one permit issued in December 2020 for unclassified work, though specific details about this permit's purpose or completion status are not provided in the available records.
