178 India Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 178 India Street in Greenpoint, owned by Rosanna Galvano, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2023 and December 2024. The most recent incident in December 2024 resulted in violations for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and inadequate hot water delivery in Apartment 1.

In October 2023, a pattern of violations emerged including infrastructure issues with the heating system access and the presence of cockroach infestation in Apartment 4. The building's maintenance record shows consistent problems with heating systems, including multiple violation citations that required correction, though many have since been resolved. The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no confirmed infestations reported in any of the annual filings.

While the recent heating and maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems, the absence of any bedbug incidents in the past five years indicates effective pest control management. Historical data from the building's rodent inspections (2010-2013) shows a pattern of rat activity from 2010-2011, which appears to have been addressed through bait application and a passed inspection in 2013. The building, constructed in 1928 and classified as a New Law tenement, has demonstrated challenges with maintaining regulatory compliance for heating systems and gas infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple violations and emergency service requests related to these systems over the past two years.
