219 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 219 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, currently owned by 219 Kingsland BH LLC, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the ongoing investigation into construction lead dust in March 2025, suggesting possible inadequate safety measures during recent work. The building has faced recurrent heating and hot water problems at the beginning of 2025, with multiple complaints filed and requiring HPD intervention.
There are also persistent plumbing issues, with violations related to radiators, basins, toilets, and general plumbing conditions officially documented between 2024-2025. The property went through significant challenges during construction work in 2023-2024, with several violations related to tenant protection requirements and unsafe conditions, including falling debris and inadequate construction documentation. Active violations remain regarding a non-code compliant gas meter location in Apartment 2 and several pending issues from the Department of Buildings related to construction work without proper permits. Inspection records show a pattern of rodent activity in the building between 2016 and 2024, though a compliance inspection in April 2024 showed passing results.
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2025), multiple unsanitary condition complaints were filed in January 2025, including issues with garbage storage, sewage, and pest problems. The building has a history of access issues during inspections, with multiple attempts to gain entry denied or requiring multiple visits, particularly regarding door/window conditions and construction-related complaints. Various housing maintenance code violations have been documented, particularly in Apartment 2, including problems with windows, bathroom fixtures, wall repairs, and electrical systems. While some violations have been resolved or dismissed, several remain active as of the latest inspection data.
