176 West Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The 4-story, 4-unit building at 176 West Street in Greenpoint, owned by Salvatore Tomaselli, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing concerns regarding the building's fire escape system, with violations issued in 2023 for defective components including a broken ladder shoe, and concrete repairs needed at the building front steps.
The building appears to have undergone unauthorized modifications, with an active violation from 2022 regarding the illegal conversion of a Class "A" apartment into a garage on the first story, which has resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations for occupancy contrary to Certificate of Occupancy requirements. The property has also faced multiple maintenance compliance issues, including four open violations related to annual low-pressure inspection filings between 2018 and 2021, and repeated failures to file bedbug reports in previous years - though recent bedbug filings from 2022-2023 show no infestations were reported during the respective periods.
Multiple violations remain active from 2019 related to non-compliance with commissioner orders, though some violations from previous years have been resolved or dismissed. The building's most recent notable 311 safety complaint regarding the fire escape system was filed in March 2023 and resolved by June 2023, illustrating ongoing challenges with maintaining essential safety systems.
