570 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

570 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Renee Robinson. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past couple of years, with the most concerning being an active pest control situation, as indicated by multiple rodent-related complaints, including an apartment infestation cited in December 2024. The building has accumulated several open violations since December 2024, including issues with heating system access, gas leak procedures, electrical work, and door/window conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 1.

Multiple complaints were filed in December 2024 regarding heat/hot water, door/window issues, plumbing problems, and electrical concerns, all of which resulted in violations requiring correction. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring problems, particularly with heating systems, door/window integrity, and insect infestations, though regular rodent inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025 have passed consistently. Prior to the current issues, the property had documented problems in March 2022 related to paint/plaster work and window frames, as well as heating systems, though these were resolved.

The building's housing maintenance code violations indicate several ongoing administrative requirements that need attention, such as posting proper notices regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection, and gas leak procedures, as well as addressing a broken floor issue in Apartment 1. The most recent inspection results as of 2025 show a mix of passed inspections and open violations, particularly around the building's heating system access and pest control requirements. The property has maintained passing rodent inspection status consistently during regular inspections over several years, though recent changes in complaint patterns suggest emerging maintenance challenges that require monitoring. The building's history suggests a need for ongoing attention to various maintenance issues, particularly during seasonal transition periods, based on the pattern of heating system complaints that have emerged repeatedly over the years.
