322 Rodney Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

322 Rodney Street is a 42-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Manuel Rivas. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concern being an unsanitary condition related to pests reported in January 2025, though an HPD inspector was unable to gain access for inspection. In late 2023, multiple inspections occurred simultaneously for various issues, including window frame concerns, pest problems, wall paint/plaster issues, and electrical outlet/switch concerns, though no violations were issued.

The building has a history of heat and hot water outages, with three documented emergency complaints between 2020 and 2022, though each was reportedly resolved promptly. Additional concerns have included mold and water leak issues in 2022, with corresponding violations noted for damaged stairway materials that were subsequently certified as repaired. Recent records show a bedbug infestation reported in 2024 with one unit affected, following a similar incident in 2022, though earlier annual reports from 2019-2021 showed no infestations.

The building's maintenance history also reveals rodent activity in 2018, with subsequent inspections showing compliance and passing results. More recently, in 2023, a violation was issued regarding failure to maintain building conditions, specifically concerning an air conditioning unit's missing support bracket, though no penalty was imposed. As of April 2025, there is an active violation related to the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, indicating potential ongoing maintenance oversight.
