112 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 112 Calyer Street in Greenpoint, owned by Bill Lika and constructed in 1928, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pest problem, with multiple complaints about rodent and insect infestations, particularly affecting apartment 3L, which currently has open violations for both rodent and roach infestations as of May 2024. The building has also faced water-related issues, with slow leaks reported in 2024 and 2022, and a significant incident involving no heat or hot water in February 2024.

Safety concerns have emerged as well, with open violations including the need for a new peep hole in the entrance door for apartment 3L, and previous issues with window frames documented in 2021. The property has undergone various inspections and legal scrutiny, including a building stability complaint in January 2023, and an environmental violation in June 2023 regarding structural issues with a wooden cable pole and damage to the building's siding. There appears to be an ongoing requirement for bedbug reporting, with violations issued in 2022 and 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and open violations, with the most recent concerns focusing on pest control, water maintenance, and building safety features. Recent 311 complaints in 2024 about unsanitary conditions related to pests were investigated by HPD, though no violations were issued in these particular cases. The property has had documented rodent activity from inspections between 2010-2023, suggesting this has been a recurring challenge for management to address.
