652 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit, 3-story brownstone at 652 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Darren Graham and constructed in 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between December 2024 and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in the building, along with issues requiring HPD inspections for a fire escape concern, wall conditions, and an electric/gas range, none of which could be inspected due to access issues.
The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting for 2022-2024, which remain unresolved. The property has a concerning pattern of emergency heat/hot water complaints in both late 2024 and early 2025, as well as multiple accessibility issues for inspectors trying to address various complaints.
Additionally, there have been several recent complaints about egress problems and work being conducted without appropriate permits in 2025, including an illegal conversion case that resulted in an Oath Violation. While the building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2019 with consistent passing results, the pattern of recent complaints, particularly regarding heat and safety systems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that the building has had some positive outcomes, such as no violations noted for an electrical lighting complaint in 2018 and consistently passing rodent inspections.
