1048 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
Located in Greenpoint, this 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1048 Manhattan Avenue was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Joel Fried. The building has experienced a number of significant events in recent years, with the most concerning being a 2024 indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors or odors, resulting in a DOHMH advisory to the owner.
The property has maintained a consistent pattern of failing to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings (up to June 2025) indicate zero reported infestations or related activity during the previous five reporting periods. The building underwent notable construction activity in 2018, which generated several Environmental Control Board violations for inadequate protection of adjoining properties and failure to provide required site safety documentation, with associated penalties totaling $5,000. There were two missed inspection opportunities in 2021 and 2019 related to suspected illegal commercial use and illegal hotel rooms, respectively, though inspectors were unable to gain access.
More recently, there are two active violations from 2019 and 2023 related to failure to file boiler and low-pressure inspection reports, respectively. Historical violations from the 1980s indicate past concerns with building safety features, including stairway balusters and fire escape egress, though these issues were addressed and certified as resolved by 2019-2020. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2025 shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements since 2021, with no reported infestations during this period.
