995 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, two-family house at 995 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, built in 1931 and currently owned by Miriam Carballo, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been a recurring rodent problem, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 confirming bait application following rat activity detected in November 2024. The building underwent an extensive period of reported issues in June 2022, during which multiple complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including concerns about water supply, ventilation systems, appliance functionality, electrical systems, unsanitary conditions including mold, safety systems like sprinklers, and ceiling maintenance.

While inspectors did not issue violations for most of these issues, two complaints were categorized as "Immediate Emergency" related to water supply and sprinkler safety. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for the past five reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, with no units recorded as infested or requiring eradication. Recent activity has included a rat sighting complaint in November 2024 that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

The building's permit history shows an issued permit in January 2020, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the records. A sidewalk shed complaint was reported and referred to the Department of Transportation in March 2024, but no violations were found. Throughout the building's recent history, inspections have generally been conducted promptly, with most complaints being addressed and closed, though some conditions requiring further verification of correction were noted in the 2022 inspections.
