216 Eckford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

216 Eckford Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building in Greenpoint, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Jon Garlington. The property has experienced several notable infrastructure issues in recent years, most significantly in August 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding cooking gas and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building.

These incidents led to violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including one Class C violation for providing locked access to the building's heating system boiler room. Additionally, there are active violations as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2019. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest issues, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four filing periods from 2019 through 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2022.

A September 2022 rat sighting complaint was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations at the time of inspection. In April 2021, the building received a Class A violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this is not currently a concern based on subsequent filings showing zero infested units. The most recent occupancy data and complaint history suggest that while the building has had some serious infrastructure issues, particularly regarding heating and gas systems, it has generally demonstrated effective pest management in recent years.
