128 Guernsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

This 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 128 Guernsey Street in Greenpoint, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Shaun Riney, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2024. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with mold and pest infestations, with multiple complaints registered between July and September 2023, resulting in several violations being issued.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including issues with windows, door frames, and intercom systems during the same period, some of which resulted in violations. The first floor units (1R and 1L) have documented specific violations related to door and window conditions, water leaks, and safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors, though all these violations were subsequently closed. Recent inspections and complaints indicate ongoing concerns with building maintenance, including a pending violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of October 2023.

The building underwent multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints in early 2024 regarding mold, window issues, and other maintenance concerns, though these were marked as closed by February 2024. On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building over the past two years, and recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023 show variable results, with the most recent inspection in June 2023 passing, though there was some rat activity noted in September 2022. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with moisture-related problems, most violations appear to be addressed through inspections and repairs, though the active low pressure inspection violation from 2023 remains notable.
