33 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

33 Driggs Avenue is a three-story, five-unit old law tenement building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and owned by Jack Jankowski. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring rodent-related issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in 2025, including three rat sightings between April and June. The building was inspected by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene multiple times in 2025, with results showing rat activity in May but passing inspections in April and June.

In terms of regulatory compliance, the building has an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though previous years' inspections from 2021 to 2023 show closed violations for the same issue. Notably, the bedbug reporting records for the past five years (2019-2024) show no reported infestations, with all unit counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units recorded as zero. The building's inspection history reveals a pattern of rodent-related concerns, with initial inspections showing rat activity or conditions attracting rodents in 2010, 2012, and recent years.

However, most inspections in recent years have resulted in passing grades. Building permits show an active work permit in process as of March 2024, following an earlier permit issuance in December 2019. While the property has experienced consistent rodent-related challenges, it has generally passed inspections when violations were identified, and there is currently no evidence of an ongoing bedbug infestation despite the regulatory non-compliance regarding the annual report filing.
