216 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

216 Driggs Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Abe Green. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years, most notably a power outage in February 2022 that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and an electric service complaint in Apartment 2. Multiple violations were issued in 2022 related to building safety signage, including requirements for smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and gas leak procedure notices, as well as bedbug reporting compliance - though these have all been subsequently closed.

The building experienced repeated issues with inspection access, with complaints about illegal conversions and work without permits in both 2020 and 2022, none of which resulted in violations upon inspection. While bedbug infestations have been officially reported as zero in all annual filings from 2021 through 2024, the building did experience rodent activity in 2012-2013, with several bait applications recorded in 2016. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no recorded infestations in recent years, and has maintained a closed status for all recent violations.

Building inspections from 2016 showed some rodent activity, though this appears to have been resolved. The most recent violation of note was issued in 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though the building's consistent reporting history suggests this may be an administrative oversight rather than a reflection of current conditions. The building has had no significant safety violations or emergency incidents on record since the 2022 power outage, and all recent complaints have been resolved or closed without finding violations.
