155 Monitor Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement at 155 Monitor Street in Greenpoint, owned by Ewa Giernicki, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the recent rodent activity identified in July 2025, following a June 2025 complaint that resulted in violations being found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Throughout 2023-2024, the building faced multiple complaints investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, pest problems, and a lack of proper lighting. While these complaints were inspected and closed without violations being issued, they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also shown some violations of housing maintenance codes, particularly in 2021 when several regulatory posting requirements were found to be unmet, including notices related to smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detecting device requirements.

More recently, in September 2024, the building received a violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of July 2025. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2019 to present, with no units reported as either infested or re-infested between 2019-2024. While the building's management has addressed various complaints as they arise, the repeated nature of certain issues, particularly related to sanitation and pest control, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
