515 Meeker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 515 Meeker Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Jolanta Siedlecki and constructed in 1928, has experienced several recurring maintenance and hygiene issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been ongoing problems with garbage and recycling storage, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022-2025.

The most recent complaint in April 2025 was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws, while a September 2023 violation remains open regarding improper garbage receptacle provision. The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, with multiple rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between 2021 and 2023, including documented violations that required follow-up inspections. An external low-pressure inspection violation issued in June 2023 was ultimately dismissed in December 2023.

In terms of pest control, the building's bedbug reporting for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infested units, with zero units reported as infested or re-infested, though violations for failure to file bedbug reports were issued in both 2021 and 2023. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with findings consistently indicating rat activity between June 2021 and October 2022. While past violations have generally been addressed through closure or correction, the persistence of garbage storage issues and rodent sightings suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
