151 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

151 Greenpoint Avenue is a four-story, six-unit Old Law tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Cynthia Hu. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past five years. Most recently, in May 2025, there was an active complaint regarding illegal/improper vent/exhaust installation.

In 2021, the building faced multiple serious issues including mold problems, heavy water leaks, and ceiling damage, which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These problems prompted three emergency housing maintenance complaints, all of which were resolved within days. An inspection in July 2021 revealed several violations requiring attention, including inadequate fire retardant materials in public areas, unsatisfactory cleaning of hall floors, and the presence of household items in common spaces; however, these were certified as corrected between August and November 2021.

The building has a history of food establishment-related health inspections, with the most recent occurring in May 2025, though these inspections generally resulted in standard procedural notifications rather than major violations. Rodent activity was noted during a 2018 inspection, though this was not recent or persistently recurring based on available data. Encouragingly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (as of 2024), with the pest control records showing zero affected units during multiple annual inspections between 2021 and 2024. The property has also maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance, with all filings indicating no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
