94 Diamond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 94 Diamond Street in Greenpoint, owned by John Imperatore and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were persistent heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in late 2021, with complaints filed in October and November indicating these essential services were temporarily restored but required additional follow-up. The building has also faced rodent control challenges, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2023 and 2024 showing periods of rat activity, though recent inspections in early 2025 have passed.

The property has a history of building code violations that have required attention, particularly in late 2021 when several issues were documented, including problems with self-closing doors in the public hall, a broken entrance lock, and various safety concerns in the common areas. Two Class B violations remain open as of the latest records, relating to missing balustrades at the first-story stairs and household items encumbering the third-story hall. The building has also undergone inspections related to bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the last two annual filings (most recent December 2024).

Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 indicated issues with illegal occupancy at apartments 2R/3R and failure to comply with vacate orders, though these were ultimately resolved, with associated penalties paid. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most recent inspections indicating improved conditions in some areas while highlighting persistent challenges with building security (entrance lock), common area maintenance, and occasional rodent activity. The building's age and class designation as an Old Law Tenement suggest it has undergone various regulatory requirements over the years, including those related to heat/hot water systems, pest control, and building safety standards.
