162 Dupont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 4-story, 16-unit building at 162 Dupont Street in Greenpoint, owned by Michael Tirelli, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recent heat and hot water complaints, with the latest emergency report from November 2024 indicating that inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the reported lack of building-wide heat or hot water.

The building has also had recurring problems with heating systems, as evidenced by similar complaints in October 2022 and earlier complaints in 2019 regarding electrical power outages. In April 2021, there was a water leak incident that resulted in violations, though these were addressed within 12 days. The building is currently facing several open violations from an inspection in November 2024, primarily related to safety notices and documentation requirements, including missing certificates of inspection, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection requirements, and gas leak procedures.

However, previous violations documented in 2021 regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues in Apartment 1 were resolved by May 2021. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported cases from 2020 to the present, and while there was some rat activity noted in July 2024, an August 2024 inspection resulted in a "Passed" compliance status. The building's age (constructed in 1908) and its classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it has undergone various regulatory changes over the years, with the current focus being on ensuring proper maintenance of safety systems and prompt response to heating system issues.
