162 Newton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

162 Newton Street is a 3-story, 6-unit tenement building located in Greenpoint, owned by Zbigniew Stasiewicz and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced some significant issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2023, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.

There have been two documented instances of rat activity in the latter half of 2023, specifically on August 25 and December 11, which raises concerns about pest management in the building. The property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations over the past several years, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 consistently showing zero infested units.

Both the recent heat/hot water outage and plumbing issues from January 2023 were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued for the plumbing complaint. While the building's age and these maintenance issues suggest some challenges with property upkeep, it's worth noting that the heat/hot water and plumbing problems were addressed relatively quickly when reported. The presence of rat activity in inspections from August and December 2023 indicates an ongoing concern with vermin control, though no violations have been recorded formally through HPD.
