181 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

181 Greenpoint Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2005 and managed by Ilan Cohen. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues over the past several years, with the most recent incidents in May 2024 and April 2023 involving water supply problems and heavy water leakage. Notably, in April 2023, the HPD documented water temperature violations in apartment 1F exceeding the 130-degree maximum limit, and this apartment has also been cited for a current open violation regarding a roach infestation.

The building underwent multiple inspections and faced several maintenance challenges in 2018, including safety concerns about the fire escape, various door and window issues, and problems with the electrical lighting system, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The property has had consistent bedbug monitoring since 2019, with all reports showing zero infested units during the reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. Two 2018 violations indicated issues with the roof bulkhead, including concerns about fire retardant materials, self-closing doors, illegal locking mechanisms, and the presence of encumbering items, though these were never certified as resolved.

A complaint regarding potential illegal hotel rooms in 2018 could not be investigated due to lack of access. The building's plumbing infrastructure has been a persistent issue, with multiple emergency-level complaints regarding sinks, water supply, and bleeding radiators. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, it has passed rodent inspections since 2013, and current bedbug reports show no active infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices.
