AI summary · updated June 2026

133 Kingsland Avenue is a two-story, two-unit residential building in Greenpoint, constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Paul Capobianco. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably a series of rodent-related complaints, with three rat sightings and one report of conditions attracting rodents recorded between 2022 and 2023. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2018, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2018. Housing Maintenance Code violations have accumulated between 2021 and 2024, specifically regarding the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with these violations remaining open as of April 2024.

The building faced more serious structural and safety issues in late 2023, including a partial vacate order issued on December 15, 2023, following complaints of building shaking, though inspections did not warrant any violations at that time. A significant incident occurred in December 2023 involving flooding of the first floor, cellar, and rear yard, along with debris falling from an adjacent building due to fire, which has resulted in an active violation. Multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied multiple dwellings were filed between 2022 and 2024, though inspections generally found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent one in May 2023 resulting in a pass, suggesting some level of maintenance compliance despite the ongoing rodent-related complaints and other violations on record.
