905 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 4-story, 3-unit tenement building at 905 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Jinhee Bae and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. In 2021, a bedbug reporting violation was issued, though records show no infestation between 2022 and 2024, with three units previously treated in 2021.

Notable maintenance problems emerged in 2018-2019, particularly in Unit 1, including mold issues, pest infestations (rodents and roaches), heating problems, and various repair needs including window, door, and ceiling issues. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented during 2018-2019, requiring repairs to plaster surfaces, painting, and addressing unauthorized alterations, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by July 2019. More recent activity includes the issuance of three violations in June 2023 regarding failure to file high-pressure inspection records for 2018-2019, though these were dismissed by September 2023.

The building had no reported bedbug issues between 2022-2024, with consistent rodent inspection pass rates recorded from 2018-2019. Desk complaints from 2018-2019 were notable for including multiple requests for HPD inspections that could not be completed due to access issues, covering various problems including flooring, ceiling, wall, and plumbing concerns. The most recent permits issued in March 2019 were for unspecified work, and records indicate regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing all four inspections conducted between March 2018 and September 2019.
