211 Mcguinness Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11222

211 McGuinness Boulevard is an 8-story, 197-unit residential building in Greenpoint, completed in 2017 and owned by Besim Beskovic. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2023 and 2025, including a January 2025 incident that was not able to be inspected due to access issues. In addition to thermal comfort problems, the building has faced several safety concerns, including a 2024 mold incident (which did not result in violations), and multiple complaints regarding unauthorized smoking in designated smoke-free areas in 2024.

The property has numerous open violations as of 2023, primarily related to building safety and maintenance requirements, including inadequate heat supply (notably in Apartment 313), and various required safety postings regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detection, and gas leak procedures. The building's infrastructure and systems have faced various challenges, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and complaints. This includes significant elevator system issues in 2023, with violations related to fire service operations and maintenance records resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

The building's owner has faced several compliance requirements under Local Law 188/17, with active complaints regarding sprinkler system inspections as of 2024. While the building has maintained relatively good pest control records in recent years, with zero reported bedbug incidents from 2022-2024, there was a noted infestation in 2020. Despite these issues, the building has received multiple permit approvals from DOB between 2019-2020 for various construction and maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the property, though many original violations from 2023 remain open as of the current date.
