161 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

This three-story, two-unit residential building at 161 Driggs Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Tadeusz Wozniak, has experienced several notable issues since 2021 that warrant attention. Most recently, in March 2023, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the condition.

This incident coincided with the discovery of loose wood treads in the public hall stairs at the first and eleventh from the bottom up, which was classified as a Class C violation requiring correction. The building also currently faces multiple active violations from June 2023 regarding failures to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, as well as a violation from November 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. The property has a history of procedural compliance issues, including various violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings (most notably in December 2024) indicate no infested units during the latest reporting period.

Other notable events include a 2021 construction lead dust complaint in common areas and apartments that remains unresolved as of October 2023. Multiple complaints regarding food establishment issues were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, including a 2021 case of spoiled food that was ultimately addressed. The building has also had two completed Department of Buildings complaints, one regarding work without a permit and another related to COVID-19 executive orders, though neither resulted in any found violations during inspections.
