754 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story, five-unit old law tenement building at 754 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Christiane Kim and built in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2023 when multiple violations were documented. In April 2023, the building faced multiple complaints regarding paint/plaster issues (including radiators and walls), window frame problems, and electrical wiring concerns, with violations issued in several of these cases.

A significant inspection in May 2023 revealed multiple lead paint hazards in apartment 4R, including issues with window frames, door frames, and radiators, though these violations were subsequently certified as addressed by late 2024/early 2024. The building has also experienced some basic maintenance issues, including a heating/hot water complaint in December 2022 that could not be inspected due to lack of access, and various door/window and flooring complaints between late 2022 and 2023, though many of these resulted in no violations being found. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations or re-infestations reported in the past six years (2019-2025).

The building's recent history shows a pattern of routine maintenance challenges, primarily in 2023, with an emphasis on addressing lead paint hazards. While most of the violations from the 2023 inspections have been addressed or certified, the building's age and history of maintenance complaints suggest ongoing attention to basic infrastructure and safety systems may be required. The most recent bedbug report from April 2025 confirmed no active or past infestations in any units during the 2024 reporting period.
