114 Diamond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement at 114 Diamond Street in Greenpoint, built in 1928 and currently owned by Andrzej Bielecki, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2024 (April) and 2019 (May), tenants reported lack of heat and hot water, triggering emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in both instances.

The building has also faced multiple administrative challenges, with four consecutive violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as per HPD requirements. Additionally, there were several open violations in 2019 concerning required safety postings in public areas, including gas leak procedures and heating system access information, though one violation related to heating system key access was closed in May 2019. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent pest management success, with zero reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2023-2025).

Recent rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025 have all resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest control measures. The most recent bedbug report filing (July 2025) shows no current or previously infested units, while the January 2025 rodent inspection also passed. While the building has experienced periodic heat and hot water issues, the prompt response to complaints suggests that when problems arise, they are generally addressed quickly, though the recurrence of such issues indicates an ongoing infrastructure challenge.
