642 Leonard Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

642 Leonard Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1930, located in Greenpoint and currently owned by Eric Orlofsky. The building has undergone several important inspections and requirements in recent years, most notably in April 2023 when multiple violations were identified regarding mandatory safety notices.

These violations, all of which have since been certified as corrected as of May 9, 2023, included requirements to post information about smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's registration number, as well as information about the authorized personnel for the heating system access. Prior to these violations, the building underwent a bedbug reporting requirement in 2021, which appears to have been addressed, as subsequent annual filings from 2022 through 2024 show no reports of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building's recent history shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all filings from 2020 to 2024 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

Earlier inspections for rodent control in 2009 and 2013 were successfully passed, demonstrating adherence to basic health and safety standards. While the building has had several violations and requirements in recent years, it is noteworthy that these have been addressed promptly, with all 2023 violations being corrected within approximately two weeks of the inspection. The building's age and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" suggest it has maintained its historical character while adhering to contemporary housing maintenance requirements.
