626 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The three-story, two-family house at 626 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by John Usdan and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's consistent heat and hot water challenges, with emergency complaints registered in March 2024 indicating system failures affecting the entire building. 2023-2024 saw a power outage incident in October 2023, though no violations were found during the HPD inspection.
The building has also faced issues with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in March-April 2025, with bait applied during the most recent inspection in June 2025. The property has generated multiple complaints regarding unauthorized alterations and business activities. In late December 2024, there were complaints about work being done without permits, though inspectors were unable to gain access to perform their evaluations.
An active ECB violation from October 2022 concerns an allegedly illegally constructed business accessory wraparound sign on the building, for which a penalty of $6,250 was imposed. The Department of Health has been involved with the property, including a mobile food vendor-related inspection in 2025 and a food spoilage complaint that was administratively closed in November 2020. While the building has had multiple inspection requests, access issues have hindered some evaluations, as seen in the March 2024 heat/hot water complaint and multiple December 2024 inspection attempts.
