85 Russell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 85 Russell Street in Greenpoint, owned by Kazimierz Hermanowski, has a documented history primarily focused on bedbug reporting compliance. Since 2021, the building has been subject to four separate housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though all these violations have been closed.

The most recent violation was recorded in April 2024, preceding a December 2024 filing that indicated zero infested dwelling units for the period November 2023 to October 2024. This pattern of compliance suggests the building has maintained an effective bedbug eradication policy, as evidenced by similar zero-infestation reports from previous filing periods in 2022 and 2021. Additionally, the building passed a rodent inspection conducted in May 2022, indicating satisfactory conditions regarding vermin control.

The property's maintenance record shows consistent efforts to comply with housing regulations, with annual bedbug report submissions covering periods from 2019 through 2024, all indicating no infestation cases during their respective reporting periods. The building, constructed in 1931, falls under the classification of "OLD LAW TENEMENT," a designation typically referring to pre-1938 multiple dwellings subject to specific housing maintenance standards. While the bedbug violation notifications might initially raise concerns, the subsequent filings consistently showing zero infestation cases suggest effective management of these requirements, and the property has not received any other major violations or citations in recent years that would significantly impact resident experience or safety.
