578 Leonard Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 578 Leonard Street in Greenpoint, owned by James Morrison, has been standing since 1901 and has undergone a conversion to Class A housing status. The building's most recent inspection records from 2024 and 2023 show consistent filing of annual bedbug reports, with the most recent report for the period 2022-2023 indicating no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infestation claims.

Prior to this, there were four consecutive years (2021-2024) of bedbug reporting violations, though these appear to have been resolved as subsequent filings show full compliance with reporting requirements. The property has a history of various safety and maintenance issues, most notably in 2008, when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 3 including defective carbon monoxide detector, lack of hot water at fixtures, a defective smoke detector, and fire egress issues related to obstructing bars or gates.

These historical violations, along with a 1999 violation regarding inadequate exterior lighting, have all been officially closed as of October 2023, suggesting that the building has addressed these past safety concerns. A single complaint regarding an illegal curb cut was filed in 2019 but was determined to have no violation warrant at the time of inspection in 2020. While the building's violation history shows various issues, the most recent records indicate successful resolution of past problems and compliance with current regulations, particularly regarding pest management and safety systems.
