193 Green Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 193 Green Street, Greenpoint, constructed in 1928, has experienced several concerning tenant issues in recent months, particularly regarding pest control. Between August and September 2024, there were three consecutive complaints about pest-related unsanitary conditions, all of which resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access to perform the necessary inspections.

These complaints were subsequently closed due to lack of follow-up response, though they were also documented as Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past three years according to the official Bedbug Reporting system. The property has a history of plumbing-related issues from 2020, where multiple complaints were filed and two Plumbing permits (Job Number 321795029 and 321795161) were issued and ultimately superseded due to a Master Plumber withdrawal.

These violations were resolved by February 2020. An inspection from May 2018 revealed several administrative violations related to safety notice requirements, including missing postings about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection device requirements, gas leak procedures, and the availability of the agency's Housing Information Guide - all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by June 2018. The building's maintenance history is somewhat mixed, with successful rodent control demonstrated through passed inspections in 2011 and 2013, though there was one failed inspection in 2011.
