824 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 824 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Ron D'addario, was constructed in 1885 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recent emergency maintenance calls from April 2025, which included multiple fire escape safety concerns, problems with doors, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also been cited for several violations requiring documentation and safety postings, including problems with smoke detector notices, heating system key access notifications, and various maintenance issues in apartment 2L (including water leaks, mold, and plaster/paint problems).

The property has a history of moisture-related issues, with multiple complaints about mold and water leaks recorded in 2022, and earlier concerning a rodent attraction issue in 2021. Three violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings were recorded in 2023, though some were subsequently dismissed. On a positive note, the building's bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestation cases, and recent rodent inspections from 2013 and 2022 passed.

However, several open violations from 2022 remain concerning, including requirements to properly repair and maintain various safety systems and complete specific repairs in apartment 2L. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic systems and safety compliance, particularly regarding timely repairs and proper documentation of safety equipment. While many complaints have been addressed and closed, the pattern of violations suggests recurring issues with maintenance and safety systems that require attention.
