125 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 125 Freeman Street in Greenpoint, owned by Abdul Razzak, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in October 2024, there were concerns about water supply issues that HPD was unable to inspect, and a complaint about building shaking/vibrating that also resulted in an inspection where access could not be gained.

In 2021, there was a notable heat and hot water outage that was resolved shortly after HPD intervention. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, receiving two separate Class A violations in 2021 and 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though subsequent reports from 2020 through 2025 show no evidence of bedbug infestations, with consistent reporting of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has a mixed maintenance history, with some concerning issues like the recent water supply investigation and the inability to gain access during building inspections, which suggests potential access or maintenance communication challenges.

While the building has had periodic heating and water issues in the past, these appear to have been addressed when reported. Importantly, the building's bedbug reporting history demonstrates consistent compliance in recent years, showing no infestations since at least 2019. The most pressing recent concerns appear to be related to plumbing systems and building stability investigations, though the pattern of complaints suggests that not all reported issues may persist beyond initial investigations.
