105 Engert Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 105 Engert Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Chris Pepe and constructed in 1928, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing rodent issue, with documented rat activity in inspections in 2023 (February and April), and a series of baiting actions recorded in 2014.

The property has also faced challenges with interior conditions, including a recent paint/plaster complaint in 2025 that HPD inspectors could not access during their visit. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with the most recent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units from 2022 through 2025, violations were issued in 2021 and 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports - though these violations are now closed.

The building's maintenance history includes multiple 311 complaints and service requests, particularly in 2020, when there were multiple health-related inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, including concerning animal facility permits and rodent conditions, though access was unavailable for some inspections. The Department of Buildings records show several permits issued between 2019 and 2020, primarily for electrical and plumbing work, with no apparent unresolved issues. The most recent inspections and filings suggest some persistence of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and interior upkeep, though there have been no documented bedbug infestations in over three years.
