131 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
131 Greenpoint Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, built in 1885 and currently owned by Alex Kaskel. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being multiple open violations as of 2023 related to fire safety in the electrical room and hot water tank room in the cellar. These Class C violations pertain to missing fire-retardant materials and excessive use of extension cords, which present potential safety hazards.
The building has undergone various infrastructure inspections and maintenance checks, including multiple 311 service requests between 2021-2024 regarding window frames, plumbing, electrical systems, and other general maintenance issues. Notably, there was a significant number of complaints and inspections in October 2021, encompassing issues with windows, plumbing, flooring, walls, and mold, though all were resolved without violations being issued. Recent history shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings (2022-2024) indicating zero infested units.
The building passed multiple rodent inspections between 2017-2019. There were several Department of Buildings complaints regarding work without permits, illegal hotel rooms, and after-hours work between 2018-2025, though most were resolved without violations being found. Of particular note is a 2019 heat/hot water emergency that was resolved and a 2022 construction enforcement violation relating to tenant protection plans that resulted in a $2,500 penalty. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular interactions with city agencies, though most service requests and violations have been addressed without resulting in ongoing issues or penalties.
