584 Morgan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

584 Morgan Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint and owned by Roman Holowiak. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water during late 2024, with multiple emergency complaints between November and December 2024, though some of these complaints were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. More recently, in 2025, there have been rodent control challenges, with inspections in June and July 2025 confirming rat activity, following violations found in May 2025.

The building has also faced electrical issues, including a power outage in March 2025 that resulted in violations being issued. The property has several open violations as of December 2024, including safety-related issues such as missing or defective self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule, and inadequate posting of important safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and smoke detector requirements. Historical records show a pattern of rodent activity, with inspections between 2020 and 2025 indicating persistent vermin presence, despite some initial inspections in 2022 and 2023 passing.

Other maintenance issues have included problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system and unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas, though some of these earlier complaints date back to 2023 and were resolved by July 2024. The building's recent history from 2023 to 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest control, with multiple violations and unmet compliance requirements. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) have both been involved in addressing these issues, with varying degrees of success in securing access for inspections and implementing necessary corrections.
