134 Guernsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

134 Guernsey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, owned by Jan Sokol and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2019 when violations were documented for mold and heavy water leaks. These were classified as emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

In late 2019, the building was cited for several violations including the need to repair carbon monoxide detectors, address leaky kitchen faucets in apartment 1R, and properly post notifications regarding smoke detector requirements in common areas. The building has maintained a record of bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report for 2024 showing no infested units. Rodent control efforts have been conducted regularly, with bait applications noted in 2022 and 2023, and a passed inspection in September 2022.

Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 revealed violations related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these were not classified as serious. The property underwent two Department of Buildings complaints in December 2020 regarding work without permits and possible illegal conversion, but no violations were found in either case. The building's most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2019 included safety-related issues such as carbon monoxide detector problems and the need for door repairs in apartment 1R, though some of these violations have since been closed as of December 2019. The property has shown ongoing attention to pest control, with regular rodent inspections and bait applications continuing through 2023.
