643 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The four-story, six-unit tenement at 643 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, built in 1931 and currently owned by Zbigniew Sawicki, has experienced multiple concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating persistent non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements.
The building has also accrued multiple violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings, with active violations issued in April and June 2023 for failure to submit required documentation for 2019-2022 inspections. Additional concerning events include a food safety complaint in 2020 that was closed after being administratively addressed, and two significant Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2021-2022: one related to unauthorized construction of a temporary structure (a walk-in box for Dunkin' Donuts) at the property, and another for exterior maintenance issues involving crumbling brownstone.
The exterior maintenance violation, issued in 2022, was resolved with a penalty of $3,125, while the illegal construction violation from 2021 carried a penalty of $6,250 and remains active. The building has also undergone compliance inspections by Special Operations in 2021, and received a full stop work order during an inspection in May 2021. While a food establishment-related 311 complaint from 2020 was addressed, the pattern of ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting and safety inspections suggests persistent regulatory compliance challenges at the property.
