113 Newel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

113 Newel Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Jadwiga Brzozowski, located in Greenpoint. The building has undergone several noteworthy events in recent years, particularly in 2021 when multiple tenant safety inspections were conducted, revealing some compliance issues that required attention.

Two significant Environmental Control Board violations were issued against BZ Construction of NY LLC in May 2021, concerning inadequate tenant protection plans and lack of proper fire stopping during construction work, though these violations were later resolved with no penalties. The building experienced some administrative complications in August 2021 related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, but these were subsequently dismissed by the ECB. More recent history shows consistently maintained building standards, with no reported bedbug infestations across the eight most recent annual filings from 2019-2024, and all recent rodent inspections (most recently in January 2025) have been passed successfully.

The Department of Buildings has conducted several sweeps in 2021-2022, all of which found no violations at the time of inspection. While there were some construction-related compliance issues in 2021, the building appears to have returned to good standing with no significant recent complaints or violations, and there is no current work or issues on record that would impact resident safety or comfort. The only recorded permits in recent years were properly issued and resolved, with the most recent relevant permit being for electrical work in May 2021.
