139 Engert Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 139 Engert Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Mark Jasinski and constructed in 1928, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

This pattern suggests a potential ongoing issue with pest management oversight. Additionally, the building has recently faced rodent problems, with rat activity documented in March and April 2025, following a pass on a February 2023 inspection, indicating a persistent vermin issue despite previous eradication attempts. The building's history includes a closed Department of Buildings complaint from July 2021 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, though this was investigated and found to have no violations warranting action.

The property's bedbug reporting history shows a single filing period (2019-2020) with no reported infestations, suggesting that while bedbug management procedures have been violated in recent years, there may not have been any actual infestations during that period. The most recent rodent inspections indicate an ongoing struggle with vermin control, with all three inspections in 2025 reporting rat activity. The combination of open bedbug reporting violations and recent rodent activity suggests potential challenges with overall building maintenance and pest management systems.
