261 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 261 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Frank Han, has been in operation since 1931 and is classified as an old law tenement. The building has a mixed record of compliance with housing regulations over the past few years.

Most notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving two Class A violations in 2021 and 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report. However, it's worth noting that the bedbug incident reports since 2021 show no actual infestations, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting that while there were compliance issues with the reporting, the actual pest problem has been effectively managed.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance in terms of submitting required reports after initial violations, with the most recent report from July 2025 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024, again showing no infestations. Despite the regulatory violations regarding bedbug reporting, the pattern of zero infestations over multiple reporting periods indicates that the building management has maintained a pest-free environment, though there may have been challenges with timely reporting requirements. The property management's focus appears to have been on addressing actual pest issues rather than the paperwork, as evidenced by the lack of documented infestations in the official reports.
