1083 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

1083 Manhattan Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 in Greenpoint, currently owned by Joseph Iccari. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most notable concerns arising between 2018 and 2022. In November 2018, the building faced multiple violations related to heat and hot water issues, fire safety concerns, and maintenance problems, particularly affecting the 1st Floor East apartment (1F), which had hot water exceeding 130 degrees, non-self-closing doors, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detector issues.

Additional concerns included defective fire escape components and obstructions blocking egress from fire escapes, though some of these violations were subsequently closed. The building underwent work in 2019-2020 that led to several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including unauthorized electrical work and plumbing modifications in the ground-floor commercial space, resulting in fines totaling $6,620. An important safety incident occurred in 2020 when a building-wide stop work order was violated, leading to a $5,000 penalty.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024, all reports indicate zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows no infestation for the 2023-2024 filing period. The building's current status shows no open violations or urgent complaints, and regular bedbug reporting compliance has been maintained, though there were periods of significant safety concerns and regulatory violations in previous years that affected resident comfort and safety.
