511 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
511 Graham Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, owned by Derek Bestreich and constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The building's recent history shows several concerning patterns, particularly in the last three years.
Most recently, in 2024, there was an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. The building has experienced persistent issues with construction-related concerns, with two separate complaints about lead dust in March 2020 (both still marked as in progress), and there was also a complaint about illegal after-hours work in December 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits. The property has faced recurring regulatory compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings show no reported infestations.
Most significantly, recent rodent inspection results from March and April 2025 indicated rat activity, continuing a pattern of pest control challenges dating back to at least 2014. The building's waste management practices have also come under scrutiny, as shown by the recent garbage/recycling storage complaint. While all housing maintenance code violations and some complaints have been closed, the persistent nature of several issues, particularly the ongoing lead dust complaints and recent rodent activity, suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building.
