186 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 10-unit, 5-story residential building at 186 Greenpoint Avenue, owned by Colleen Mcentee, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2017. The most pressing recent concerns involve heating and plumbing systems, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building between late 2022 and early 2024.

Of particular note, a rat sighting was reported in September 2024, resulting in health Department violations requiring follow-up inspections. Several access-related issues hampered inspections in 2023 regarding sewage, garbage storage, and plumbing concerns, with these violations remaining unresolved through multiple complaint filings between May and August 2023. The building has a documented history of certificate of occupancy-related concerns and elevator issues between 2021-2022, though inspections did not yield violations at the time.

Plumbing problems were highlighted in 2018, leading to a stop work order that was later rescinded. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years (2022-2024), the building's maintenance record shows persistent challenges with basic services, particularly heating, where multiple emergency complaints have been filed and subsequently closed, often with the condition being restored but requiring repeated reporting by tenants. The most recent emergency maintenance issue recorded as of July 2025 involves mold problems, indicating ongoing building maintenance challenges.
