1020 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
Located at 1020 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, this four-story, 20-unit old law tenement building was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Ari Koth. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being garbage storage problems (May 2025), heat/hot water issues (December 2024), and multiple water leaks, particularly during September 2023 when heavy flow leaks were reported along with slow leaks.
The property has also faced electrical problems, including lighting issues in common areas and the building's ventilation system requiring attention in late 2023. Multiple building-wide violations were issued in 2023-2024, including concerns about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector problems, and various issues with the building's interior and exterior maintenance. Historical records show a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including rodent activity with the most recent inspection (March 2025) showing rat activity.
The building has faced various compliance issues with the Department of Buildings, including illegal conversion concerns (2019), after-hours work violations, and past violations related to the use of the first-floor apartment as a short-term rental (2019). While the building's management has taken steps to address some violations, as evidenced by their certification dates in 2023-2024 for various repairs, there remains ongoing concern about the building's maintenance and responsiveness to housing code requirements. Additionally, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases since 2021.
