643A Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

643A Greene Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Camille Ross. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed between 2018 and 2024. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint affecting one apartment, though HPD verified that the issue was corrected.

Previous heat-related complaints from 2020 and 2018 involved either the entire building or individual apartments, with inspectors often unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The building's maintenance history also reveals multiple incidents of inadequate building systems, including electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing issues (water supply and sink problems), and door frame concerns, all reported in August 2018. Recent inspections show that the building has passed multiple rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, indicating generally good pest control management.

The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from March 2025 showing no infested units between November 2023 and October 2024. However, there are still some unresolved issues from a December 2018 inspection, including concerns about heat supply, hot water provision, and access to the heating system boiler room. The building has also been subject to monthly bedbug inspections since 2022, all of which have resulted in a passing status. While the building has shown improvement in recent years with fewer complaints and passed inspections, the recurring nature of the heat and hot water issues remains a notable concern in the property's history.
