427 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

427 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Kathy Parker. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues, particularly notable during a recent October 2024 complaint about lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building. This follows a pattern of heating system-related complaints in December 2019, during which several tenants' units were inaccessible for inspection.

The building has also faced multiple emergency maintenance issues, including violations concerning gas utility safety, with active ECB violations from December 2019 related to unpermitted gas piping installations and safety concerns in the cellar area, with penalties totaling $7,750. The property underwent significant maintenance activity in early 2020, addressing various issues including unsanitary conditions, pest control, heating problems, and multiple building-wide inspections. Notable improvements include a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, and annual bedbug reporting showing zero infestation cases for the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2025.

The building suffered from various maintenance issues in 2020, including floor damage in Apt 4 (3rd Story) that resulted in specific violations requiring repairs. More recently, the property has shown improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the most recent filings indicating no infested units since 2021, and regular passing inspections for other code compliance matters. The building's most recent inspection-related activity includes multiple violation closures and successful resolution of various building maintenance issues, though a notable pattern of heating system complaints remains evident throughout the building's recent history.
