212 Kent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The 5-unit, 3-story tenement building at 212 Kent Street in Greenpoint, owned by Ron Frieden, has a documented history of pest-related issues spanning several years, with particular significance to rodent and insect infestations. Most recently, in August 2023, the building experienced two separate complaints regarding pest issues, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations.
A notable violation was issued in June 2023 for the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection documentation, which remains active as of 2025. The building's rodent control history shows various interventions, including multiple bait applications and inspections indicating rat activity between 2010 and 2013, with documented rat sightings in January 2022 suggesting ongoing challenges.
While the property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, consistently reporting zero infested dwelling units, the existence of recent pest complaints and historical rodent activity raises concerns about persistent sanitation challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1930) and classification as an Old Law Tenement further contextualize its maintenance history within the framework of New York City's housing stock.
