226 Eckford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 226 Eckford Street in Greenpoint, owned by Keith Balis and constructed in 1930, has shown a generally active engagement with housing maintenance requirements over recent years. Most notably, while there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, the building has maintained a perfect track record concerning actual bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in all subsequent filings from 2019 through 2024.

The property has had three rodent inspections since 2013, with compliance inspections in early 2022 failing for "Other Reasons," though a previous inspection in 2013 had passed. Recent environmental concerns included a DOHMH complaint in October 2021 regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions and waste, which resulted in violations being found on the property, though presumably these were addressed given the lack of subsequent complaints.

The building's maintenance history suggests regular oversight, with timely responses to inspections and reporting requirements, though the initial bedbug reporting violations indicate some lapses in administrative compliance that have since been rectified. The property has undergone independent verification of its conditions through mandatory bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, with no major repeated violations or ongoing issues apparent in the most recent records up to 2024.
