213 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

213 Calyer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint, built in 1928 and currently owned by Anne Dorogoff. The property experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in May 2019, primarily affecting ground floor apartment 1L, where violations were documented regarding inadequate hot water supply, smoke detector problems, and missing carbon monoxide detector.

While HPD inspections were conducted and no violations were issued for some of the complaints, several violations remained open, including a lack of proper notification about smoke detector requirements and missing safety device requirements in the building. The building's safety systems were further scrutinized during this period, with violations noted for not maintaining proper notices regarding gas leak procedures and heating system access, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by May 28, 2019. Since the 2019 incidents, 213 Calyer Street has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases.

The building also passed initial rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, though there was one failed inspection in 2012 for unspecified reasons. The most recent significant safety concern was in 2019, though many violations were resolved, with current open violations being minimal. The consistent bedbug-free status over the past five years and rodent control measures suggest improved maintenance standards, though the 2019 safety violations indicated some initial challenges with safety requirements and building systems that required attention and correction.
