AI summary · updated June 2026

The four-story, seven-unit tenement building at 277 Driggs Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Edward Zylka and constructed in 1928, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years. Most notably, in late 2022, the building faced emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold. Additionally, there was a heat and hot water complaint in December 2021 that could not be investigated due to lack of access. An inspection in October 2022 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including encumbrances of household items in public hallways on the first and second stories, and several safety-related notice requirements that were not being met. These included missing notices about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and information about the heating system keyholder - all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by October 24, 2022.

The building's more recent history shows improvements in certain areas, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024, and it passed a rodent inspection in February 2023. A Department of Buildings inspection in October 2023 regarding adjacent buildings found no violations. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety, the most recent records suggest that many of the previously noted compliance issues have been addressed, though the thoroughness of these corrections may warrant independent verification.
