576 Leonard Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 576 Leonard Street in Greenpoint, owned by Rafal Szewczyk and built in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring mold problems, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to mold reported between 2019 and 2020, though some complaints could not be inspected due to access issues. The building has also faced various plumbing issues, including problems with water supply and bathtub/showers, electrical concerns (wiring and outlet/switch issues), and door/window maintenance needs.
In 2019, violations were issued regarding safety requirements, including improper posting of carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector notices, as well as problems with a missing "Gas Leak" notice. The property has undergone some regulatory scrutiny, with three periods of bedbug infestation reporting between 2019 and 2024, though recent filings show no active infestations as of 2023-2024. There were also multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits during 2019-2022, though inspections often found no violations or were unable to gain access.
In 2021, there was a violation related to failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition, though this was dismissed. The building's management has shown some pattern of regulatory non-compliance, as evidenced by several Environmental Control Board violations for failure to comply with commissioner's orders between 2018 and 2021, primarily related to occupancy issues and work without proper permits. The most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 focused on bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the most recent two filing periods. While many complaints have been resolved or closed, the building's maintenance history shows periodic issues with access for inspections, leading to some complaints being closed without resolution due to lack of access to inspect the reported conditions.
