214 Calyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 4-story, 8-unit apartment building at 214 Calyer Street in Greenpoint, owned by Krzysztof Rostek and constructed in 2007, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though inspectors were unable to access the property.

The building has a documented history of emergencies in 2021, including a heat/hot water complaint in February that HPD could not verify due to lack of access, and door-related issues in July that also received an emergency classification but no violations were issued following inspection. The building faced multiple safety and compliance issues during a July 2021 inspection that remain open as of October 2023.

These violations include requirements for proper postings regarding gas leak procedures, smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and the maintenance of specific notices in common areas. Additional compliance issues identified in 2021 involved clearing encumbrances at the roof access and 4th-story landing areas, as well as requirements for posting the building's registration number and maintaining an inspection certificate frame in a designated location. While bedbug reports filed annually from 2020-2024 show no infestations or related issues, and a 2013 rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade, the building's more recent history suggests ongoing attention is needed to address safety and compliance matters.
