634 Humboldt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

634 Humboldt Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint and owned by 634 Humboldt Str, LLC. The 1931 building has recently experienced significant maintenance issues, with multiple complaints filed in January 2025 regarding various problems including water leaks (both heavy flow and slow), electrical issues (lighting and wiring), ventilation system concerns, unsanitary conditions (mold and pest problems), flooring issues, and wall maintenance needs.

While these complaints were categorized as emergency and non-emergency issues, HPD inspections were repeatedly unable to gain access to the premises for proper evaluation, leading to closed cases with the suggestion to re-file complaints if problems persisted. The property has a concerning history of violations and maintenance challenges in the recent past. In late 2024, the building faced issues related to unauthorized work, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding excessive construction dust during demolition work ($10,000 penalty) and electrical work throughout the property ($800 penalty).

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 to present shows consistent compliance, with no reported infestations or eradications in any unit across multiple reporting periods. Rodent inspections conducted in 2023 revealed initial rat activity in May, though a follow-up compliance inspection in August resulted in a "Passed" designation. The building currently has an active complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections as of February 2025, and two recent inspection attempts in April 2025 were unable to gain access.
