57 Newel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

57 Newel Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by 57 Newell Llc. The building has experienced some maintenance issues over recent years, most notably documented heating and hot water problems in January 2021 that affected the entire building and resulted in violations from both HPD and the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations were subsequently closed, though specific hot water issues were also documented in April 2021 for the individual unit 4L, which had additional violations related to non-self-closing doors. More recent compliance matters include an active violation issued in April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection report, which remains unresolved as of the current date.

The building has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbug infestations, with all seven annual bedbug reports since 2019 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all units, including the most recent filings from 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023. An inspection in December 2018 related to a gas utility referral found no violations at that time. While the building has experienced some mechanical issues, particularly with heating systems, it appears to have consistently addressed violations when cited, with the exception of the most recent low-pressure inspection matter.
