721 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 721 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Dorothy Johnson, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in August 2024, the property faced problems with water leakage and mold in the second-floor apartment, leading to the issuance of housing maintenance code violations that remain open as of September 2024.

The building has a documented history of moisture-related issues, with the 2024 inspections revealing problems with water damage and mold on ceilings and walls. Similar concerns were present in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded, including issues with garbage storage, heating systems, and various structural elements such as cabinets and flooring in both units. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing compliance checks, following a rat activity report in May 2025.

The building's maintenance history also shows recurring infrastructure problems, particularly during November 2018 when multiple violations were documented, including concerns with cooking gas, electrical systems, and various structural elements. While some violations from 2018 were eventually resolved, many remain open in the inspection records. The Department of Buildings conducted a complaint inspection in May 2024, which resulted in no violations being found, though this was for a different address associated with the same street number.
