507 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 507 Graham Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Frank De Angelis and constructed in 1928, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance events over the past several years. Most prominently, the building has accumulated three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all these violations have been closed.

Recent bedbug reports from December 2023 covering the 2022-2023 period indicate no infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units, which suggests effective management of this issue in recent years. The building underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in October 2020 following a complaint about illegal conversion from commercial to residential use, but no violations were found at that time.

The rodent inspection history from 2009 to 2014 presents a mixed picture, with initial inspections in 2009, 2010, and 2014 all revealing rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections generally resulted in passing grades. Specifically, rat activity was noted in 2010 (July and August), and an August 2014 inspection showed initial signs of rat activity, though this was later resolved with a passed compliance inspection. While the building has faced some maintenance challenges over the years, particularly in the early 2010s with both rodent issues and bedbug reporting violations, the most recent records suggest improved conditions, with no reported infestations or rodent activity in recent years, and timely filing of bedbug reports following the previous violations.
