283 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The three-unit, three-story building at 283 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Robert Silverblatt, has experienced several significant and ongoing maintenance issues since 2019. The most pressing concern involves multiple violations regarding heat and hot water systems, particularly during a problematic period in January 2019 when the entire building experienced heating problems, resulting in numerous HPD complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations. This issue was officially documented as a Class C violation for inadequate heat supply to Apartment 3 in February 2019, though subsequent reports indicated restoration of basic services.
More recently, between 2021 and 2024, the building has accumulated a series of concerning violations primarily related to building maintenance, including issues with facade integrity, emergency exit access, and failure to maintain proper building codes. These include active Environmental Control Board violations regarding step cracks and mortar deficiencies in the building's facade, along with several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements (from 2021 to 2024). Additionally, there are multiple instances of failure to certify corrections for immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations between 2019 and 2021, totaling six separate violations that remain active as of the latest inspection data.
The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny for potential illegal conversions and unauthorized modifications, with several complaints filed between 2020-2021 regarding possible unauthorized use of residential space. Documented complaints include issues with unpermitted hot water heater installation in 2019, though many of these complaints were resolved through inspection processes. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic building systems and adhering to regulatory requirements, particularly regarding facade maintenance and documentation compliance.
