138 Guernsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 138 Guernsey Street in Greenpoint, owned by Maria Fernandez and dating from 1930, has experienced several notable incidents affecting tenant quality of life and building maintenance. A cluster of emergency maintenance issues arose in November 2018, all involving unit 3R on the third floor, including problems with hot water supply, window frames, and bathtub/shower fixtures.

These led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, though records indicate these were certified as resolved between late 2018 and late 2023. More recently, the building has maintained a clean slate in terms of infestations, with bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 showing no infested units, though there was one incident affecting all six units in 2018-2019 that was resolved. The 2018 incidents were particularly concerning due to their nature as emergency complaints, though it's worth noting that all were subsequently addressed and closed.

Importantly, there have been no recorded housing code violations or emergency service requests since the 2018 cluster, suggesting improved building maintenance practices in recent years. The building's bedbug history indicates a proactive management approach, as evidenced by the regular annual reporting and absence of recent infestations. While the 2018 violations were significant at the time, the absence of subsequent complaints or violations over the past five years suggests these were addressed effectively.
