49 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

49 Driggs Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1928 in Greenpoint, currently owned by Richard Pajak. The building has recently experienced construction-related disturbances, with significant dust complaints documented in April 2024 through both 311 complaints and Department of Buildings violations, affecting all three floors, stairwells, and public areas, creating potential health and safety hazards for tenants.

These construction activities reportedly occurred without proper permitting in an occupied multiple dwelling, though the Department of Buildings assigned no monetary penalties for these violations. The building's maintenance history shows generally good pest control management over the past several years, with the mandatory annual bedbug reports filed showing no evidence of infestations between 2019 and 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Historical records from 2010-2011 show some rodent activity issues, with initial inspections in November 2010, March 2011, and an initial inspection in 2011 all indicating rat presence, though subsequent compliance inspections in December 2010 and April 2011 showed passing results, suggesting these problems were addressed. The most recent building inspection for housing maintenance code compliance in April 2021 noted an administrative issue regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report, though this was later resolved.
