311 Eckford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

311 Eckford Street is a four-story, eight-unit old law tenement building in Greenpoint, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by 311 Eckford Owner LLC. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent incidents including a rat sighting in April 2025 (which was investigated by DOHMH and found to have no violations), and a heat/hot water issue in January 2025 that was reportedly corrected following HPD's involvement.

The building has also faced some regulatory challenges, including violations for failure to file required inspection reports in 2019 and 2023, though both were dismissed by DOB. Previous violations from 2016 required the posting of housing information and smoke detector requirements in the public hall, and an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors was received in July 2020. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug reporting requirements, with annual filings from 2021 through 2024 showing zero reported infestations.

Recent inspections, including a rodent inspection in April 2025, have passed without any violations. The property has a mixed history of responsiveness to maintenance issues, with some problems seemingly resolved through the proper channels, while others required multiple complaints to address. The building's age, combined with the varied history of complaints and violations, suggests ongoing challenges typical of older tenement buildings, though recent years show improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and building inspections.
