545 Meeker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The 3-story, 6-unit building at 545 Meeker Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Josephine Lam, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2022, with particular concern over recurring unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage. The building, constructed in 1928, has had multiple fire escape safety complaints, though recent inspections in 2025 found no violations. Significant issues documented in 2022-2025 include heating system problems (class C violations), plumbing concerns, and multiple complaints regarding garbage management.
The property has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022-2025 showing varying results from "Passed" to "Rat Activity" designations. Recent months (2025) have seen multiple service requests regarding fire escape safety, water supply issues, and garbage storage problems, though most inspections either found no violations or were unable to gain access to complete the inspection. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including heating system problems documented in 2022, multiple failed inspections due to lack of access (notably regarding plumbing and garbage issues), and a significant violation in 2020 for unlawful construction work.
There are active environmental controls violations from 2022 related to continuing work during a stop work order. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting showing zero infestations from 2020 to present. The property has undergone various permitted work between 2019-2025, including plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent permits issued in late 2023 for plumbing and electrical improvements. While inspections have generally found no major violations, the recurring nature of several types of complaints, particularly regarding garbage management and building systems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
