174 Russell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

174 Russell Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint, built in 1931 and currently owned by 174 Russell LLC. The most pressing recent issues involve a building-wide power outage that occurred in November 2023, which resulted in multiple emergency complaints and housing maintenance violations related to inadequate electrical service throughout several apartments (1L, 1R, and 2L).

Additional violations were documented during the November 2023 inspection, including a locked boiler room door access issue and defective self-closing entrance doors in multiple apartments. These recent electrical and door-related violations are classified as Class C, indicating they are serious but not immediately hazardous. The building's maintenance history shows some positive trends, with regular bedbug reporting since 2021 showing zero infestations in the past five reporting periods, and a passed rodent inspection in May 2017.

A permit for exterior wall work was issued in July 2018, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the provided data. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in late 2023, there is evidence of regular compliance with bedbug eradication protocols and general pest management. The ongoing electrical issues and entrance door violations from November 2023 appear to be the most significant current concerns affecting resident safety and comfort.
