516 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 516 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mohammod Bhuyain, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning building maintenance and safety. Most recently, there have been two power outage incidents in December 2024, though these did not result in any housing violations. The building has ongoing violations as of December 2024 related to a broken vestibule door latch and a loose banister at the second-story stairs.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 include multiple door and window issues, particularly affecting the vestibule and apartment doors, as well as problems with the staircase stairs. In 2023, apartment 4A had violations for mold conditions on the ceiling and a faulty light fixture, while earlier violations from 2024-2025 include issues with a refrigerator in July 2024. The building's systems maintenance has shown some concerns, including an active DOB violation from January 2020 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report.

However, in terms of pest management, the property has maintained a clean record with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six reporting periods, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed successfully, with an initial failure in October 2023 being addressed promptly. The property has undergone multiple HPD inspections throughout 2024 and 2023, with varying results in terms of violations, particularly focusing on door security and electrical systems. While the building has multiple open violations as of 2025, it is important to note that the owner has historically responded to most violations within the required timeframes, as indicated by the transition of many violations to "Closed" status in previous inspection cycles.
