123 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 123 Freeman Street in Greenpoint, owned by Lidia Kolacz, has exhibited several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2024, there were plumbing problems requiring HPD intervention, though no violations were issued.

The building experienced multiple rodent-related incidents in 2024, particularly during May, when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented several complaints about rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, resulting in some violations that required follow-up inspections. A concerning pattern emerged in 2023-2024, with the property receiving multiple violations related to its failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, though recent filings indicate no current infestation issues (as of May 2024). The building has also generated several Department of Buildings violations, including active citations from June 2023 for not filing 2018 and 2019 external low-pressure inspections.

The property was subject to additional housing maintenance code violations in July 2024 related to improper posting of required safety and registration notices, though these were later certified as corrected by October 2024. While the building's rodent problem appeared to improve with a passed inspection in February 2025, its maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic habitability requirements is needed. The property has undergone regular inspections, with varying results, including instances of rat activity in 2024, though earlier inspections from 2010 showed compliance in some areas.
