150 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

This three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 150 Freeman Street in Greenpoint, built in 1920 and owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding rodent activity. Most recently, in August 2024, there were two rodent-related complaints, with one investigation resulting in confirmed rat activity. The building has also undergone multiple rodent inspections in 2024, with October and November inspections showing rat activity.

While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted inspections following rodent complaints in 2024 and found no violations, the persistent rodent problems remain concerning. The building's violation history reveals a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance issues over the years. In 2021, there was a housing maintenance code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report.

Historical violations from 2011 included problems with cellar cleanliness and disused plumbing fixtures. Earlier records from the 1980s and 1990s document various issues, including a notable violation from 1986 regarding unauthorized alterations converting a first-floor apartment to a workshop and storage space, reducing the building's occupancy from four to three apartments. This period also saw multiple violations related to safety concerns, such as loose balustrades and vermin issues in Apartment 4. On a positive note, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings from 2020 to 2025, showing effective pest management in this regard.
