156 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 156 Freeman Street, Greenpoint, is an Old Law Tenement constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Zev Gold Inc. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues from 2018, when multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (specifically mold) and ceiling paint/plaster problems.

These complaints were classified as either immediate emergency or emergency situations, but it is noteworthy that HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, resulting in closed complaints without resolution confirmation. In more recent years, the building has demonstrated improved maintenance practices, though there were three consecutive violations (2021-2023) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by § HMC.

However, as of June 2025, the most recent bedbug reporting period shows zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units across all recent reports (2021-2025), indicating effective pest management since the violations were recorded. The building's current status suggests improved conditions, with no recent complaints or violations recorded in the past two years, though it is important to note that access issues were a recurring theme in the 2018 complaints that remain unverified.
