126 Eagle Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 126 Eagle Street in Greenpoint, owned by Harold Martin, has a notable history of maintenance issues, particularly concerning heat and hot water services. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint that HPD investigated but found no housing law violations. This followed two similar complaints in March 2024 and March 2023, in both of which inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct the necessary evaluations.

These recurring heat-related complaints, though technically resolved through inspection processes, suggest an ongoing concern with building systems. The building also appears to require attention to its annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating potential issues with compliance to housing maintenance code requirements. The property has experienced occasional pest-related challenges, including multiple rodent complaints in December 2021, though health department inspections subsequently passed (with a failed initial inspection in early 2022).

Additional maintenance concerns have been documented, including flooring and wall issues in late 2019, though no violations were issued following inspections. While historical records show various service requests and inspections, the most concerning pattern remains the heat/hot water service issues and the recurring bedbug report violations, which have persisted over multiple years and different inspection periods. The building, constructed in 1930 under the Old Law Tenement classification, shows a typical mix of maintenance challenges faced by older multi-family dwellings in New York City, with the most pressing issues appearing to be related to building systems and compliance documentation requirements.
