342 Mcguinness Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 342 McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, owned by Ofir Kahati, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2020. The most significant concerns occurred in January 2020, when multiple violations were issued for Apartment 1L, including problems with heating/hot water, cooking gas, smoke detection, and carbon monoxide detection systems (though most of these violations were certified as corrected by February 2020).

The building faced multiple emergency complaints in 2020-2021, including issues with doors/windows, electrical lighting, and cooking gas - though some inspections were unable to gain access for verification. More recently, in 2023, the building received violations related to emergency egress requirements and annual bedbug reporting compliance, which were subsequently certified as corrected. Despite several complaints regarding potential illegal conversions and unauthorized hotel rooms in 2019-2023, all investigations resulted in either no violations being found or inspector access being denied.

The property has maintained a positive track record in terms of pest control, with the latest three bedbug reports (for the periods 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023) showing zero affected units and no need for eradication efforts. While there have been multiple maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety, particularly during 2020, most violations have been addressed through subsequent inspections. The building's age (built in 1931) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its history of experiencing typical maintenance challenges for this type of structure in New York City.
