204 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 204 Calyer Street in Greenpoint, owned by Aaron Schwartz and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple violations related to construction work in early 2023, including inadequate tenant protection plans, failure to maintain proper firestopping, and safety hazards, resulting in penalties totaling $6,250.

A heat and hot water complaint was recorded in February 2024, though it was promptly addressed and closed by HPD. The building has a concerning history of open violations dating back to the 1976 and 1987 inspections, including issues with fire escape removal, heating system access, missing flap doors, and cornice repair needs, though it's important to note these violations are from decades earlier and may have been addressed through normal building operations.

More recent concerns include an in-progress lead dust complaint from September 2023 affecting common areas, and multiple inspections and violations related to tenant safety and construction compliance in 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases from 2018 through 2024, and passed all rodent inspections, including the initial inspection in May 2013. While the building's recent history shows improved bedbug control and rodent management, the pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly related to heating systems, safety compliance during construction work, and timely responses to service requests.
