657 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
657 Greene Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Matthew Goltche. The property has a notable record of bedbug report violations, with four separate violations documented between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by NYC Housing Maintenance Code, although recent filings from 2024 and 2025 show no current infestations or eradications, suggesting improved compliance.
A significant environmental violation from 2020 remains active, concerning unpermitted construction of a 1-story attached extension measuring 16 by 9 feet at Apartment #3, which was reportedly used as a bedroom for the basement apartment occupant, with an imposed penalty of $6,250 currently due. The building has undergone multiple inspections for various health and safety issues, with consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, indicating good pest management.
In 2020, two complaints were filed regarding potential illegal conversions and unauthorized hotel rooms in the building, though one was inspected and found to have no violations while access was denied for the other. An elevator-related complaint from 2018 could not be fully investigated due to insufficient information. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, as evidenced by passing all inspections over the past five years, and recent annual bedbug reporting requirements appear to be up to date, with the most recent filing showing zero infested units between November 2023 and October 2024.
