676 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, four-unit building at 676 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Stanley Celius and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2022-2023, there were recurring problems with mold, water leaks, and various appliance issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) generally found no violations.

The building has a history of heat and hot water complaints, with significant incidents reported in 2018 and 2021 when the entire building experienced these deficiencies, although heat and hot water were reportedly restored shortly after the complaints in 2018. More recent concerns have been documented through Housing Maintenance Code Violations as of 2023, with an open violation regarding a broken or defective gutter at the main roof and several closed violations in Apartment 2 concerning the intercom system, kitchen faucets, bathroom cabinet, and lead-based paint hazard.

The property has maintained a consistent record of rodent-free status, passing all inspections from 2020 through 2025, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, with the most recent 2025-2026 filing showing zero infested units. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, the management has generally addressed violations when cited, with many violations being closed after corresponding repairs or corrective actions were taken.
