497 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The four-story, four-unit building at 497 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nick Dragonetti and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance and pest control issues in recent years. Most notably, in June 2023, there was a cluster of complaints and violations related to building conditions, including issues with flooring, windows, doors, wells, and reports of pests, all of which were investigated but did not result in any HPD violations being issued.
The building has maintained an active rodent control program throughout 2024-2025, with multiple instances of rat activity reported between September 2024 and May 2025, though recent inspections show improvements with "Bait applied" and "Compliance" passing results. More recent concerning developments include a building stability complaint filed in November 2023, which resulted in a violation regarding structural wall maintenance due to observed "severe cracks" and detached stucco.
The property has a history of bedbug reporting requirements on record from 2021-2024, although recent filings indicate no infested or re-infested units. The building has undergone various inspections and responded to multiple service requests, including a 2024 DOHMH inspection related to a food establishment. While many complaints throughout the building's history have been addressed promptly, with most resulting in no violations being issued, the persistent rodent activity and recent structural concerns may warrant attention.
