980 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

980 Manhattan Avenue is a 3-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, built in 1919 and currently owned by Yehuda Yaloz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, most notably during January 2019 when there were serious heating and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, including documented violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second-floor apartment. These emergency complaints were ultimately closed, though one heating system access violation remains open as of the latest inspection record.

In recent years, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no recorded infestations between 2019 and 2025 according to the annual reports submitted to HPD. The property has undergone three separate HPD inspections from 2022 to 2024 which all resulted in violations related to bedbug reporting compliance that were subsequently closed. Historical records from 2013-2014 showed some rat activity in the building, with bait applied during multiple inspections, though no rodent-related issues have been documented since then.

The most current information as of July 2025 indicates that the building has been free of both bedbug and rodent infestations for an extended period, suggesting improved pest management practices. While the heating system issues from 2019 were addressed, prospective tenants should note the building's history of mechanical system challenges during that period. The property appears to have maintained better compliance with housing maintenance codes in recent years, though the open heating system access violation from 2019 is worth noting, particularly given its potential impact on building system management and maintenance access.
