880 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 880 Manhattan Avenue building is a 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement located in Greenpoint, dating back to 1884 and currently owned by Mark Levine. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past five years, with four documented emergency complaints between 2020 and 2022, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, though in most cases heat and hot water were reported restored by the time of inspection. Significant building code violations were identified in June 2023, including defective fire escape conditions (missing treads), an uncapped gas line in the cellar, and broken concrete at the north wall.

While a modification in Apartment 2 was noted as an open violation requiring proper filing and legalization, other violations from 2022 regarding building entrance security and a 2021 bedbug report requirement were subsequently closed. The building underwent an inspection in April 2023 for a violation related to external low pressure inspection filing, which was dismissed in December 2023. A recent rodent inspection history from 2013 shows mostly passing results, though one initial inspection in September 2013 resulted in a failure for unspecified reasons.

The most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show zero infestations or eradications, indicating successful pest management. The property had various unsanitary condition complaints in 2020, particularly related to pests and mold, with some violations issued. A structural stability complaint was investigated in July 2023 regarding a neighboring construction project, but no violations were found at that time.
