79 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

79 Driggs Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, built in 1928 and currently owned by Dorota Kost. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during a concentrated period in late 2022 when multiple complaints were filed on November 21st regarding heat/hot water, electrical problems (including power outage and no lighting), and pest-related sanitary conditions.

While some of these issues were promptly addressed and closed within days (specifically the heat/hot water and power outage complaints), others remained unresolved for several months, particularly two pest-related complaints and the lighting issue, which were only closed in May 2023. The building has a history of bedbug reporting compliance, with annual reports submitted to HPD showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units for five consecutive reporting periods from 2019 through 2025.

However, the property has received four official violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though it's worth noting that these violations were eventually closed. The most recent violation, from April 2024, was classified as "Class A," indicating potential seriousness. While these violations and the 2022 maintenance issues are notable, the building's current bedbug-free status (as of 2025 filing) and absence of recent major complaints suggest improved conditions over the past year.
