253 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

253 Nassau Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, owned by Emanuel Reznic and constructed in 1928. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints recorded in both November and January 2021-2022, though these were reported as resolved by HPD. More recently, in August 2024, there was a rodent/insect/garbage complaint related to a food establishment, which was addressed by the NYC Health Department.

The building has faced several significant violations and enforcement actions, particularly in 2020, including issues with a defective fire escape, which was cited as having a missing stair section and being obstructed by stored planters, leading to Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $3,750. During 2020, there were also concerns about unsafe roofing work practices that resulted in active violations with penalties. The building's maintenance record shows attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report filed in January 2024 indicating zero infested units for the period of November 2022 to October 2023.

There have been multiple violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with active violations issued in June 2023 for failure to file required inspections. The property underwent construction work in 2020, evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints and the issuance of permits for general construction and exterior work. While earlier rodent inspections in 2012 showed mixed results with one failure, the most recent bedbug report demonstrates compliance with current housing maintenance code requirements.
