578 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-unit, three-story building at 578 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Assata Hill, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2021. Most pressing are the open violations from 2022 regarding fire safety concerns in the ground floor apartment, where there were problems with obstructing bars or unlawful gates from windows affecting emergency egress.
Additional open violations include an April 2022 issue with excessively hot water exceeding 130 degrees in the ground floor bathroom, and multiple unresolved bedbug report requirements dating back to 2021-2024. The building has a documented history of plumbing concerns, with emergency complaints about water supply issues in March-April 2022, though some inspections found no violations. The property's rodent inspection history shows a mixed pattern, with recent inspections in 2024-2025 passing, but there were instances of rat activity noted in mid-2024 and late-2022.
While 311 complaints about windows and doors were filed in April 2022, HPD inspections cleared these complaints without issuing violations. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with compliance and maintenance requirements, particularly regarding safety egress and pest management, though recent rodent inspections indicate some improvement in this area. The most recent significant events as of mid-2025 include the passing rodent inspections and the continuing open violations that indicate the building's management has not yet fully addressed all historical safety and maintenance concerns.
