152 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 152 Calyer Street in Greenpoint, owned by Marcin Stefaniak, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been two significant plumbing-related incidents in 2023: a water supply complaint in April that required HPD inspection (which resulted in no violations being issued) and a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in March that could not be inspected due to lack of access, though this was designated as an emergency situation.

The building has also been under scrutiny for bedbug reporting compliance, with open Class A violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules. Prior to these recent issues, the building had structural concerns in late 2019, when an emergency violation was issued regarding exposed brick nogging on the third floor that was leaning out and at risk of falling, requiring immediate attention from licensed professionals.

There were also two complaints in 2019 related to building stability and unauthorized construction, though these did not result in sustained violations. The building's age (built in 1870) and classification as an Old Law Tenement, combined with its documented history of maintenance issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance with housing regulations.
