572 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
572 Greene Avenue is a 5-story, 84-unit building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Michael Greenberg. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints between February and March 2025 indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent incidents in June 2025 involved unaddressed complaints regarding mold, ceiling conditions, and water leaks. The building has had several maintenance violations since late 2024, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1M, hot water availability in multiple units, and mouse infestation in Apartment 1B.
Previous infrastructure concerns are documented through multiple elevator violations between 2019-2022, and a boiler violation from 2022 that required correction of defective components. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly relating to heating systems, water infrastructure, and pest control. While several emergency complaints were promptly addressed and closed, there have been instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to investigate reported issues. The property maintains a relatively good rodent inspection record in 2025, with most recent inspections passing, though there were indications of rat activity in mid-2023.
The building has undergone periodic inspections for various safety and maintenance requirements, with some violations related to energy efficiency documentation being dismissed in 2023. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showed one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated. The building's extensive history of service requests and violations indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with regard to building systems and infrastructure. However, many recent complaints have been addressed promptly, with no current open violations regarding the most serious safety concerns. The property has demonstrated compliance with recent rodent control requirements, though there have been periodic issues with heating systems and water supply that have affected tenant comfort and safety.
