636 Humboldt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 3-story, 6-unit old-law tenement building at 636 Humboldt Street in Greenpoint, owned by Sylvia Druzynski, has experienced several significant maintenance and pest control issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2023, the building faced a structural stability complaint regarding building shaking/vibration issues, which resulted in a violation being served on September 25, 2023.

In 2023, there were multiple rodent-related incidents, with inspections in April and May 2023 confirming rat activity, and the Department of Health issuing violations related to rodent sightings in March and May 2023. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past two years, with no reported infestation cases between November 2022 and October 2024. The property has a documented history of electrical issues in September 2021, with four separate complaints about power outages and lighting problems.

While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, no violations were ultimately issued. The building has also received three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed. Most recently, in September 2023, there was a report of approximately 15 square feet of plaster ceiling material having dislodged and fallen in Apartment 3R, which led to an Environmental Control Board violation, though the penalty balance was recorded as $0.00.
