181 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

181 Freeman Street is a three-story, four-unit old law tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Gerardine Cizmar. The building's history shows three significant Department of Buildings complaints between 2019 and 2022, all of which were related to unauthorized work or construction, including plumbing work and illegal conversion concerns.

Notably, all three complaints resulted in inspection attempts where the inspector was unable to gain access to the property after two final attempts, with the most recent complaint occurring in July 2022 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling. The building has maintained an impressive record regarding pest management, particularly with respect to bedbugs.

Between 2020 and 2025, six consecutive annual bedbug reports (from 2020 through May 2025) have shown zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units, indicating effective pest management practices and a stable residential environment in this regard. While the building has experienced some regulatory compliance challenges in the past, particularly in 2019-2022, there have been no recorded complaints or violations in the past two years, suggesting improved compliance with building regulations.
