880 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

880 Greene Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Marvin Basch, located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with two HPD heat/hot water complaints in 2018 and one in January 2025, though in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

An electrical issue was reported in September 2018 regarding lighting problems, which also resulted in access denial during inspection. The building faced safety-related violations in September 2018, including obstructed fire escape egress due to an air conditioner and flower pot on the 4th-floor balcony, as well as issues with self-closing doors at the first-story public hall vestibule; these violations were certified as closed by November 2018. The building has maintained a strong record of pest control, with recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, though there was one incident in 2019-2020 that was promptly addressed.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with nine successful inspections between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest management practices. The most recent records suggest the building is currently free of significant pest issues, with regular inspections showing consistent compliance. While there have been some maintenance issues documented over the years, particularly regarding heat and safety features, the prompt closure of violations and recent pest control records suggest improvements in overall building conditions.
