228 North 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, 1920 brick building at 228 North 12th Street in Greenpoint, currently owned by Mary Ellen Kandratino, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing failure to comply with Bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded in March 2022, April 2023, and April 2024.
The property has also faced significant egress safety concerns, including an open Class B violation from May 2021 regarding a problematic gate lock at the north yard that impeded fire egress, and two complaints filed in June 2021 about locked or blocked egress that could not be inspected due to access issues. While the building experienced an electric power outage in May 2021, investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations.
Rodent inspections show mixed results, with initial rat activity detected in January 2022, though subsequent inspections in June 2021 and February 2022 passed. The combination of persistent bedbug reporting violations, egress safety concerns, and historical rodent issues indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance, though some improvements seem to have occurred over time. The most recent open violation as of 2024 relates specifically to the bedbug reporting requirement.
