355 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 355 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1905 and currently owned by Victor Moneypenny, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with the most recent complaint filed in June 2025 being marked as an emergency. The building has also faced multiple housing code violations, particularly in apartment 3A, which has documented issues with mold, pest infestations (including roaches and mice), and various facility maintenance problems including door, window, and kitchen cabinet issues.

These violations, some classified as Class C (which pose serious threats to health and safety), are primarily from 2024 and remain open as of the latest data. The property has shown consistent rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 confirming the presence of rats, though there were also some inspections showing bait application, indicating at least some attempts to address the infestation. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent plumbing and moisture-related problems, with multiple complaints about water leaks, damp spots, and unsanitary conditions including mold documented in late 2024.

Several housing maintenance code complaints from October 2024 were either closed without violations being issued or resulted in inspections that could not be completed. The property also has some outstanding Department of Buildings issues, including an active violation from June 2023 regarding a failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. On a more positive note, records indicate the building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all annual filings showing zero infested units between 2019 and 2024.
