886 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 4-story, 6-unit residential tenement at 886 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, built in 1884 and currently owned by Jadwiga Ziemianowicz, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, with the most recent concerns centering around building safety and code violations. Notably, in 2018, the building received multiple open violations related to safety and compliance, including issues with fire egress systems, unauthorized building modifications, and missing safety features such as a drop ladder from the extension roof to the rear yard.

These violations specifically involved a need to restore proper egress by addressing a defective gate locking device and to address unauthorized alterations to the building's rear yard extension and first-floor public hall. While these violations remain open as of 2023, more recent inspections and compliance checks have shown no new critical issues. The building has undergone several routine inspections and compliance checks since 2021, including a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection in July 2023 that resulted in no violations.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control, with the most recent reports from 2022 to 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. Historical data from 2013 revealed earlier rodent issues, with documented rat activity in the first half of that year, though subsequent inspections showed improved conditions with passed compliance inspections. The owner has filed regular bedbug reports as required, most recently showing no reported infestations for the 2023-2024 period, and obtained various permits in 2019, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available records.
