704 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
704 Manhattan Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit old law tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, built in 1930 and currently owned by Peter Becker. The building has experienced several significant compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being an active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigation regarding food establishment letter grading initiated in June 2025. The property has multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, primarily related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2023 and boiler inspection reports dating back to 2017, all of which remain unresolved as of 2025.
The building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented from 2021-2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though the most recent 2023-2024 report indicates zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has a history of construction-related concerns, particularly during 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding work not conforming to approved construction documents, site conditions endangering workers, and excessive debris. During this period, two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued: one for failure to maintain a superintendent log book and another for construction work not matching approved documents, with associated penalties.
Notably, the building has undergone several DOB compliance sweep inspections between 2021-2023, though these inspections did not result in violations. The most recent permit activity includes two permits issued in January 2023 for equipment and work-related purposes under job number 340187737. While the building's current bedbug status appears stable according to the latest report, the persistence of various unaddressed violations related to safety inspections and maintenance requirements raises ongoing compliance concerns.
