72 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 72 Greenpoint Avenue, owned by Marek Kaczor and constructed in 1928, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in November 2024, there were emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues throughout the entire building and problems with paint/plaster on the ceilings, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the complaints. The building currently has open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

In 2018, multiple violations were documented and subsequently closed, including issues with fire-retardant materials in the 4th-story public hall, ceiling maintenance requirements, and safety notice postings. The property has a concerning history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2016 showing evidence of rat activity and multiple bait applications. There were also official complaints regarding construction lead dust in common areas that was still marked as "in progress" as of February 2020.

Numerous building permits were issued between March 2019 and July 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance or renovation work, though specific details of these permits are not provided in the data. The building's management history shows some pattern of delayed responses to tenant concerns, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD inspectors could not gain access to investigate reported issues. While certain violations from 2018 related to safety notices and building maintenance were eventually resolved, the persistence of bedbug reporting violations in recent years indicates potential ongoing management challenges.
