501 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 501 Graham Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Hajrije Tahiraj, has been in operation since 1928 and is currently facing several maintenance challenges. Most notably, there are two outstanding Housing Maintenance Code violations from January 2018 that remain open as of the latest available data.

These violations involve failures to properly post safety notices regarding gas leak procedures and housing information guides in the building's first-story public areas, requirements stipulated under New York City's Housing Maintenance Code and Administrative Code respectively. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, it has experienced significant rodent control challenges.

The most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 passed, but there was a period of intense rodent activity between late 2017 and early 2018, as evidenced by multiple bait application sessions and two initial inspections indicating rat activity, specifically in March 2018 and August 2017. The building's recent history shows improved rodent management, with no rodent-related violations or inspections recorded since 2018. While the bedbug statistics show consistent maintenance of a pest-free environment, the outstanding housing code violations from 2018 represent the most persistent regulatory issue facing the building in recent years.
