135 Russell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

135 Russell Street is a three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint and built in 1931, currently owned by Gabriela Gieraltowski. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2021-2022, with multiple complaints documented across various categories including plumbing (bathtub/shower issues), unsanitary conditions (pest infestations), and heating/hot water problems. Notably, there was a significant pest infestation issue in apartment 3L as documented in late 2021.

The building has also had multiple housing maintenance code violations and a series of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with some inspectors unable to gain access to verify certain reported conditions. More recent inspections in 2023-2024 have revealed various fire safety concerns, including open violations related to self-closing doors and a defective fire escape screen in the public hall. However, the building has shown progress in addressing some maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of several violations and emergency complaints.

The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years, and the most recent bedbug report (April 2025) indicates zero infested dwelling units. Minor repairs and improvements appear to have been carried out, as indicated by various permits issued in 2018. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to building systems and safety requirements, though some violations and issues remain open as of the most recent inspections.
