860 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

860 Manhattan Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story old law tenement building in Greenpoint, constructed in 1884 and currently owned by Susanna Neumann. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, including notable heating system failures in November 2020 affecting the entire building and a serious water leak incident in March 2021. More recently, both external low-pressure inspection violations from 2018 and 2023 remain active as of September 2024, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges.

Between 2020-2021, the property faced multiple Department of Buildings violations related to unauthorized occupancy and construction work, including issues with a subdivided retail space that contained unpermitted uses as a laundromat and bar. These violations were generally resolved, though there was one instance of failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous violation that was dismissed in July 2021. The building's recent history shows attention to bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in the last three annual filings (2022-2024).

The property has also maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing the most recent inspection in April 2013. While 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations have generally been addressed promptly, as evidenced by their closure status, the recurring nature of certain issues such as heating and water systems raises concerns about the property's maintenance capacity. The owner's current focus appears to be on resolving the outstanding DOB violations related to the external low-pressure inspections, as these are the most recent active violations on record.
