734 Leonard Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

734 Leonard Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Greenpoint, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Adam Koros. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with three significant incidents reported through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints between 2021 and 2023, specifically in November 2021, February 2023, and March 2023; while in two instances (2021 and 2023), tenants reported that services were restored before any violations were issued, the March 2023 incident was classified as an emergency.

The building has also faced some maintenance challenges, including a self-closing door issue in apartment 2R that was resolved by April 2023, and there were two instances of failure to file annual bedbug reports as required in 2022 and 2024, though these violations were subsequently closed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest infestations, with the bedbug reports for the periods from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested units, zero eradications, and zero re-infestations across all reporting periods.

The last rodent inspection conducted in 2013 resulted in a passing outcome, suggesting there have been no significant rodent issues in over a decade. While the heat and hot water problems represent the most recurring maintenance concern, the absence of bedbugs and other major violations in recent years indicates reasonable overall building maintenance.
