229 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

229 Calyer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1928 in Greenpoint, currently owned by Alon Ashourzadeh. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in February 2024 when multiple urgent complaints were filed regarding power outages and lack of heat/hot water throughout the building. These problems were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though HPD inspections ultimately found no violations and indicated that the services had been restored.

More recent concerns include a May 2025 complaint about indoor air quality and ventilation issues, which prompted the Department of Health to issue corrective instructions to the property management. Earlier incidents include a January 2023 complaint about mold (unsanitary conditions) that was closed without violations being issued. The building has undergone two recent violations related to self-closing door mechanisms in February 2024, specifically involving magnetic door stoppers at the building's entrance and a kickstand doorstop in the vestibule area, though these were certified as corrected by March 2024.

Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2021, with annual reports showing zero cases or eradicated units throughout the past four reporting periods, and a completed inspection for rodents in May 2013 showing a passed result. While there was one complaint about excessive debris in June 2022, the investigation found no violations. The property's maintenance history suggests periodic issues with building systems, particularly heating and electrical infrastructure, though most recent inspections have resulted in no violations being issued.
