1016 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

Located at 1016 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this 3-story, 4-unit building was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Sandra Blakedean. The property has experienced several significant events over the past few years, most notably a series of Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024, including issues with fire door self-closing mechanisms and multiple notice requirements related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures.

All of these violations were certified as corrected between July and August 2024. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025, with most recent inspections passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2023. In late 2018, the building was subject to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and complaints, including issues with construction site safety, debris management, and after-hours work, particularly during what appears to be a construction period.

These violations, including a significant $5,000 penalty for unsafe construction conditions, were ultimately resolved, and the property received necessary permits in July and December 2018 for plumbing and general construction work. More recently, the building's records show consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with all initial inspections in 2022-2025 passing, though one compliance inspection in August 2023 noted rat activity. The property has maintained a pest-free record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations between November 2022 and October 2023.
