140 Newel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

140 Newel Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, owned by Tomasz Tarnowski and constructed in 2007. The building has consistently failed to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirement for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024, with all violations currently remaining open as of 2024.

This pattern of noncompliance regarding bedbug reporting is notable, though it may not directly indicate an active bedbug infestation. In 2024, the building also faced a violation regarding the required Parking Structure Initial Observation Report, which has since been resolved with no penalties.

Despite the bedbug reporting violations, the building has maintained a good track record in terms of rodent control, passing all rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025. Most recently, the building achieved a passing rodent inspection result in January 2025, following another successful inspection in February 2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The building's relatively new construction date and consistent rodent compliance could suggest generally good maintenance practices, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations represent a significant oversight in building management requirements.
