110 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 110 Calyer Street in Greenpoint, owned by Eric Orlofsky and constructed in 1928, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been two heat and hot water complaints in late 2022 and early 2025, both marked as emergencies, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions in either instance.

The building has also faced significant ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021-2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including cabinet problems, paint/plaster concerns on windows, radiators, walls, and floors, as well as ventilation system and plumbing issues. Focusing on the period of greatest documented problems, September 2021 inspection reports revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2L, including defective plaster surfaces, plumbing issues, electrical problems, and an inoperable intercom system.

While some violations from this period were closed, several remaining issues were documented as open in subsequent inspections. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports of affected units between 2019 and 2024, and rodent inspections between 2017-2019 showed variable results with rat activity noted in multiple inspections, though bait application was consistently performed. Recent building records indicate some permit activity in 2018-2019, including plumbing and electrical work, though the exact scope of these improvements is not detailed in the available data.
