198 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-unit, four-story residential building at 198 Freeman Street in Greenpoint, owned by Ian Resler and constructed in 2016, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past decade, with some notable exceptions. The most significant ongoing issue involves an open Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which has remained unresolved since at least 2021, with similar violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

This pattern of non-compliance, spanning multiple years and inspections, suggests a persistent administrative oversight. The building experienced a plumbing-related water supply complaint in August 2018, which was promptly inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within two days; however, no violations were found and the case was closed.

Interestingly, prior to the building's construction, a rodent inspection conducted in April 2013 resulted in a passing grade, though this inspection occurred before the current structure was erected. Apart from the aforementioned issues, there are no recorded service requests or violations that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort. While the building was relatively new as of 2016, the current outstanding bedbug report violation is the only major compliance concern on record as of 2025.
