535 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 535 Graham Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by John Imperatore, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2023. Most notably, in March 2024, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with smoke detectors, door problems, pest infestations, mold, ventilation systems, carbon monoxide detectors, and intercom systems.
While inspections were conducted, HPD did not issue any violations for these complaints. Prior to this, in February 2023, the building experienced heat and hot water issues that were reportedly resolved, and there were also multiple complaints about rodent activity, with inspections showing consistent rat activity from 2023 through 2025, though some inspections resulted in bait application rather than confirming ongoing infestations. The building has undergone various inspections and compliance checks under Local Law 188/17, with records showing inspections in 2023-2024 were completed without enforcement action.
A significant construction-related incident occurred in August 2020, resulting in violations and penalties related to unpermitted electrical work at the commercial storefront, though these were later resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, showing no documented infestations during the reporting periods. While recent inspections as of 2024-2025 indicate ongoing rodent issues, the building's overall violation history shows many past issues have been addressed, with no open violations relating to bedbugs, heat, or major safety concerns in recent months.
