494 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

494 Manhattan Avenue is a 6-story, 23-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, owned by Charles Schwartz and completed in 2021. The building's Department of Buildings records show several inspection periods between 2022 and 2023, with the most recent inspections occurring in mid-2023.

The building experienced multiple complaints regarding debris, particularly during the initial months of 2022 when three separate complaints about excessive debris were filed between April and May, along with concerns about potential falling debris. These issues appeared to be construction-related, as there was a series of Construction Safety Enforcement (CSE) sweep investigations between February and June 2022, though all resulting in "Stop Work Order Fully Rescinded" dispositions. More recent complaints in mid-2023 regarding adjacent buildings and excessive debris were also inspected and found to have no violations warranting enforcement action.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent two annual reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building appears to have successfully resolved its initial construction-phase issues, with no recent complaints or violations recorded since mid-2023, suggesting improved conditions and compliance with safety and cleanliness standards. The most recent inspection dates indicate prompt response and resolution of reported issues, though it's worth noting that several complaints in 2022 resulted in no violations being found during the inspections.
