280 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

This four-story, seven-unit residential building at 280 Nassau Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by David Berk, was constructed in 2013 and has exhibited several notable maintenance issues over its lifetime. The building experienced a significant rodent infestation incident in January 2021, which prompted Health Department involvement and follow-up inspections, though a subsequent compliance inspection in May 2021 passed. Between December 2020 and 2021, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

The property has faced multiple regulatory scrutiny periods in late 2020 and early 2021, particularly regarding safety notification compliance, including requirements for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, bedbug reporting, and gas leak procedures. These violations were primarily addressed by March 2021, though one violation involving the inspection certificate display remained open. Historical records show an early pattern of rodent issues in 2011, with multiple compliance inspections revealing rat activity during that period.

However, recent bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 shows consistent zero infestation counts across all reporting periods, indicating successful management of that potential issue. The building's most recent bedbug report from December 2024 continues the trend of no reported infestations. While the property has had its share of violations and complaint investigations, particularly in its earlier years and in 2020-2021, many of these issues appear to have been resolved, with more recent years showing improved compliance with housing maintenance codes.
