Augrented Insights Report for 253 Kingsland Avenue

The 5-unit, 3-story residential building at 253 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Czelaw Tarnawski, has been in operation since 1931 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with annual violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file the necessary bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

However, the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2024, indicates no infestation cases (0 infested units, 0 eradicated units, 0 re-infested units), suggesting successful compliance with eradication protocols though initial reporting was not adhered to. The Department of Buildings has received several complaints regarding the property in 2023, including allegations of illegal conversion of commercial space to residential use and claims of unpermitted work in an occupied multiple dwelling.

Both complaints were ultimately closed without any violations being substantiated during inspections, with the July 2023 complaints receiving no-access determinations on the first inspection attempt. Notably, the building's most recent bedbug report filing for period 2023-2024 was submitted in December 2024, showing compliance with reporting requirements after multiple prior violations. While the building has experienced various regulatory interactions, recent records suggest improved compliance with health and safety reporting requirements, though the pattern of previous violations warrants attention to the building's administrative history.
