818 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

818 Manhattan Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint and built in 1885, currently owned by Hassan Dayllam. The building has experienced numerous health and safety issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centering around food safety.

In 2024, there was a food poisoning complaint that was referred to New York State Agriculture and Markets, and in late 2022, there were reports of rodents/insects/garbage in a food establishment, though this complaint was eventually closed. The building has also faced persistent challenges with indoor air quality, as evidenced by multiple chemical vapors/gases/odors complaints in early 2021, and various maintenance issues including problems with electrical outlets, doors, and the intercom system in late 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

Significant violations remain open as of 2023 regarding the failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2018-2020, and notable historical issues include multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting between 2021-2024, though the most recent bedbug report from February 2025 indicates zero infested units. There are also several active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2021 regarding work without permits in a commercial space, specifically relating to a deli's gas cooking stove installation, with penalties totaling $12,500. The building did successfully pass an initial rodent inspection in 2013, and while many previous complaints have been closed, the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges.
