192 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 192 Greenpoint Avenue, owned by John Imperatore and constructed in 1928, has experienced several maintenance challenges over the past few years. Between May and November 2023 alone, multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues, including water leaks (slow leaks and damp spots), plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, wall paint/plaster concerns, and pest infestations. Two unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests were filed in November 2023 and although one was investigated with no violations found, the second inspection couldn't be completed due to lack of access.

A sewage odor issue affecting indoor air quality was reported and addressed in May 2023. The building has also faced notable safety and compliance concerns in recent years. In September 2023, a violation was issued for obstructed fire escape egress on the 2nd story, while earlier violations from 2021-2022 regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggest some lapses in documentation compliance.

Regular safety notices were required to be posted in 2018, including those pertaining to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and to outline gas leak procedures, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's pest management appears to have improved recently, with the 2024 bedbug reports showing no infested units during the previous two filing periods. While rodent inspections in 2010-2013 indicated some earlier challenges, the most recent results don't indicate any current infestations. The property has undergone several repairs and maintenance addressing various issues, though access concerns during inspections have been a recurring theme in multiple complaints.
