1037 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 1037 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Aaron Schwartz, was constructed in 2001 and has a notable history of water-related issues. Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple reports of water leaks, with several complaints specifically noting "heavy flow" conditions.

Notable incidents during this period include violations issued in May 2022 and August 2022 regarding water leaks, followed by multiple emergency complaints in September 2022 involving both water leaks and mold issues. The building also experienced several maintenance issues in 2022, including violations related to a mold condition in apartment 4RR, problems with self-closing doors in the public hall, and various repair needs including ceiling plaster and paint issues. A significant inspection in September 2022 resulted in the identification of several code violations, including one concerning missing floor signs in the public hall, which were subsequently certified as corrected by the end of 2022.

The building has been proactive in addressing pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five annual reporting periods from 2019 to 2023, indicating effective management of this issue. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. Recent years show some improvement in major issues, with no significant complaints or violations reported between 2023 and July 2025, suggesting resolution of prior water and maintenance problems, though this may also indicate a reduction in complaint reporting rather than necessarily indicating no current issues.
