54 Greene Avenue is a three-story, former Class B building constructed in 1930, currently under the ownership of Yizhak Benabou. The property has been facing persistent maintenance challenges over recent years, with multiple active environmental control board violations as of 2023-2025, including significant issues with the building's facade, sidewalk shed, and roof elements. Between 2021-2025, there have been recurring violations related to bedbug report filings, with consecutive violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
The building has experienced ongoing rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity, following similar findings in 2024. Structural concerns have been documented through multiple complaints and violations, particularly regarding the facade, which was noted to have "deep cracks" and areas of missing material in 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved violations, particularly regarding the expired sidewalk shed permit from 2020 and various structural issues.
Recent complaints in 2024-2025 have included rodent sightings and violations requiring follow-up inspections by health authorities. While some violations have been resolved (such as several illegal after-hours work complaints in 2023), many remain active, including multiple environmental control board violations with cumulative penalties exceeding $50,000 related to facade and sidewalk shed maintenance. The property also has a historical record of sanitation issues, including a 2020 HPD complaint about garbage/recycling storage, though access for inspection could not be obtained at that time.
