156 Dupont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 156 Dupont Street in Greenpoint, owned by Victor Celli, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing occurring in February 2023 when multiple violations were documented following a heat and hot water complaint. Specifically, Apartment 2R was found to have hot water exceeding the maximum safe temperature of 130 degrees at all fixtures, and issues with missing or defective self-closing doors were noted.

The building also received several administrative violations in February 2023 related to safety and compliance notices, including the need to post information about gas leak procedures, heating system access, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detecting device requirements in common areas, as well as maintaining a proper inspection certificate display near the mailboxes. As of October 2023, all these violations remained open, except for the heat/hot water complaint which was closed after an HPD inspection found no violations.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest management, with annual bedbug reports filed from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, indicating effective eradication measures were in place during this period. While the building appears to have maintained a pest-free status, the outstanding violations from February 2023 related to safety notices and hot water systems suggest ongoing compliance issues. The building, constructed in 1928 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has a documented history of requiring various repairs and improvements to meet current housing maintenance code requirements.
