47 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 47 Driggs Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Michelle Sutowski, has experienced recurring heating system issues over recent years, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in both 2023 and 2024 affecting the entire building. These emergency complaints were documented on November 16 and 22 of 2023, and again in November 2024, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored before HPD inspections could be completed.
The building currently has several open Class A violations from a November 2023 inspection related to safety notices, including the need to post requirements for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in the common areas. Two Class C violations were issued in November 2024 concerning unauthorized door hardware at the building's front entrance, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. The Department of Buildings recorded a violation in June 2023 regarding an unfiled external low-pressure inspection, which was dismissed by December 2023.
The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past three years, with no reported cases between 2021 and 2024. While there was one documented rodent issue in 2011 showing rat activity, subsequent inspections in 2011 resulted in a "Passed" compliance status. The consistent pattern of heating system complaints throughout the building, particularly in recent years, is notable, though the prompt restoration of services indicated by HPD responses suggests temporary outages rather than chronic system failures.
