189 Green Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

189 Green Street, a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Raman Aggarwal, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The building has multiple open violations as of June 2023, including problems with water supply systems, door closures, plumbing fixtures, and carbon monoxide detectors, particularly affecting apartment 2R.

History of complaints indicates recurring issues with water leaks, window frames, electrical problems, and pest infestations, with numerous 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations showing similar patterns. The property has also faced challenges with building safety compliance, notably failing to file mandatory low-pressure inspections for its systems from 2018 through 2023, as evidenced by active DOB violations. The building's maintenance history reveals a concentration of problems between 2022-2023, including multiple instances of water-related issues classified as both heavy flow and slow leaks, along with unsanitary conditions.

More recent violations (as of June 2023) point to deficiencies with fire door closures, balcony maintenance, and interior fixtures. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last three annual surveys (2021-2023), the building has experienced intermittent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2016-2022 documenting rat activity and bait application. These recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding water systems, door closures, and pest control, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and management response, as many service requests were closed without required inspections due to access issues.
