68 Ft Greene Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

68 Fort Greene Place is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Joseph Smalkowski. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent years, with significant problems reported between 2021 and 2024. Of particular concern are numerous plumbing issues, including problems with bathtubs/showers, sinks, and water supply, as well as unsanitary conditions involving mold and pest infestations.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented, with the most pressing issues in apartment 6 including infestations of roaches and mice, multiple mold problems, defective smoke detectors, door issues, and water temperature violations. The building's 311 service requests and housing maintenance complaints show a pattern of unresolved access issues for inspections, though some violations have been addressed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with no reports of infestation in any units between 2019 and the present.

Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several open violations, including missing smoke detector notices, pest infestations, and multiple safety equipment deficiencies in apartment 6. While some previous violations from 2023 have been marked as closed, the building continues to have ongoing maintenance concerns that require attention. The most recent 311 service requests from 2021 were unable to result in inspections, but previous violations from that period had been closed with various outcomes. The building's documented issues suggest persistent maintenance challenges, particularly affecting unit 6, though recent complaints from 2024 show some improvements with multiple cases being resolved within a month.
