651 Greene Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Stanley Celius. Built in 1931, this HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2025, including multiple plumbing issues in May affecting both bathtubs/showers and sinks, all of which resulted in HPD violations. Earlier in 2025, there were additional concerns including mold, water leaks, pest problems, and various plumbing issues, all leading to emergency maintenance code complaints.
The building has also faced heating system challenges, with a November 2024 complaint about lack of heat/hot water and multiple violations related to heating issues in 2023, including problems with the boiler system that generated a $625 penalty in 2024 for defective safety valve and circulator issues. The property has a documented history of various maintenance violations and service requests, including persistent door/window problems, sanitation issues, and general maintenance concerns. While the building has maintained a pest control routine with rodent inspections and baiting throughout 2024 and 2025, there was evidence of rat activity observed in both August 2024 and December 2024.
Notably, the building has had consistent bedbug monitoring since 2019, with reports showing zero infestations in the past seven cycles from 2019 through 2025. The most recent violations as of fall 2023 included heating system access issues and door problems in Apartment 4A, as well as a broken light fixture in a basement public hall. Despite these various challenges, the building has shown some maintenance response, with many violations being certified as corrected, though newer violations remain outstanding as of the latest inspection dates.
