63 Ft Greene Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

63 Fort Greene Place is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1930 as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Morris Almeleh. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, with several concerning patterns emerging. Most notably, there is an ongoing rodent issue, with Health Department inspections in April and May 2025 documenting rat activity, and 311 complaints continuing into 2025 showing violations that warrant follow-up inspections.

The building has also faced electrical issues, with power outages reported in September 2024 and February 2019, though in both instances, HPD inspections were unable to gain access for confirmation. Window frame concerns and pest-related problems were similarly reported in September 2024, with inspections unable to be completed due to access issues. The building has a history of emergency situations, including a complete heat and hot water loss reported in September 2021 affecting the entire building, though tenants reported restoration of services during the inspection.

Multiple bedbug reports have been filed between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent filings showing no current infestation, though previous records indicated one unit had experienced an infestation that was subsequently eradicated. Security issues were addressed in 2021 with violations related to a door preventing self-closing and inadequate power outage security being corrected. While there have been occasional complaints about building vibrations (2022) and external lighting (2025), inspections found no violations. Recent inspections and reports suggest the building's most pressing current issues are the rodent infestation and periodic electrical system reliability problems, though the management has generally addressed violations once documented through the proper channels.
