640 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

640 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lior Raviv and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced some concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in mid-2023 when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated reports of heavy water leaks and pest infestations.

Both complaints, marked respectively as emergency and non-emergency issues, were closed due to lack of access for inspection. More significantly, the building currently has open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports for three consecutive years (2021-2024), which constitutes a Class A violation under Housing Maintenance Code regulations. While the building has generally passed its rodent inspections since 2021, including recent inspections in 2024 and 2025, there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted during an inspection in April 2021.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspections every six months and has consistently received "Passed" ratings since 2022, with the exception of the aforementioned incident. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with pest control compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, which remain unresolved as of April 2024. The combination of these open violations and the 2023 service requests suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining the property's habitability standards, though it's worth noting that recent rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance since 2021.
