148 Lombardy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 148 Lombardy Street in Greenpoint, owned by Patricia Bianculli and built in 1920, has a concerning record of recent housing maintenance and safety violations. Most notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive annual bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements.

In early 2024, the property experienced multiple serious issues, including two complaints about building shaking/vibration (both times inspectors were unable to gain access), and two separate complaints regarding unpermitted work. These issues were followed by substantial environmental control board (ECB) violations in March 2024, including unauthorized construction work involving questionable structural support beam installations in the cellar, and obstruction of fire escape access through the affixation of plywood boards to the roof access ladder.

Additional violations noted the poor condition of the ground floor and cellar, with hanging electrical wiring observed during inspection. Although these ECB violations were eventually resolved with no penalties imposed, the building also received two subsequent violations in May 2024 for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous ECB violations, though these were dismissed. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years, with the most recent violations occurring just months prior to the current date.
