134 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 134 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, built in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, most prominently recurring heating system problems. Between late 2021 and late 2022, there were three documented instances of heat and hot water issues in the building, with complaints filed to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though in two cases the problems were reportedly resolved before inspection.

More recently, in April 2023, an environmental violation was issued regarding a wooden structure with electrical components erected on the sidewalk outside the building, apparently related to ground-level bar/restaurant seating, though this violation remains active as of 2023. The building has faced multiple compliance inspections and violations in the past few years, including a 2025 Special Operations Compliance Inspection resulting in an Oath Violation, and a 2024 Illegal Conversion investigation where inspectors were unable to gain access.

A historical compliance issue was noted in 2019 for failure to file the annual boiler inspection report. Despite these maintenance and compliance challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with zero bedbug infestations reported in annual filings from 2019 through 2024. The current ownership, 134 Kingsland Ave LLC, appears to be the responsible party for handling these various compliance matters, though the pattern of heating system issues and recent violations suggests ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.
