42 Newel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story New Law tenement building at 42 Newel Street in Greenpoint, owned by Stanislaw Kierzkowski, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in March 2025, there was an electrical wiring complaint that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete.

In late 2023, there was a heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building that was resolved following tenant verification. During September 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including pests, wall conditions, and door problems, all of which were inspected by HPD with no violations issued.

The building has open violations from September 2022 focused on apartment 1R, including issues with a defective self-closing door, damaged vinyl floor in the hallway, leaky kitchen sink faucets, window problems, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. While these violations remain open as of the most recent data, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, with no infested or re-infested units reported. The property, built in 1928, has demonstrated recurring issues with building systems and maintenance, particularly in 2022 when multiple complaints were filed within a short period, though many of these were resolved or did not result in violations.
