700 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story residential building at 700 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Elaine Ioannou, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1930 as an Old Law Tenement. The most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 have shown no infestations in any of the three units, with consistent annual reporting compliance demonstrated during this period.

However, the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, most notably in 2020 when violations were recorded for both building wall maintenance issues (penalty imposed: $625) and a special operations compliance inspection resulting in an Oath violation. That same year, complaints regarding illegal gas hook-up/piping and building maintenance were investigated, with no violations found in the latter case. The property has undergone several inspections and faced various complaints in recent years, including a 2019 inquiry into possible illegal conversion of commercial space to dwelling units, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

While there have been some environmental control board violations and an annual bedbug reporting violation in 2021, the overall trend shows improvement in recent years. Rodent inspections between 2010 and 2014 showed one failure for "Other Reasons" in 2010, with subsequent compliance passes in 2011-2013. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting since 2019, with all reports indicating zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices in recent years.
