492 Morgan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 492 Morgan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Izak Shtrull, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2018, with a notable pattern of heating hot water-related complaints. The building faced multiple heat and hot water problems between late 2018 and early 2020, with emergency complaints documented in November 2018 (entire building), January 2019 (apartment-only), and December 2020 (apartment-only), though most were resolved promptly, with inspectors confirming restoration of services in November 2018 and December 2020.

In 2019, there was an incident involving chemical vapors or gases, and in 2021, a rat sighting was reported and investigated, though the property passed inspection with only minor violations. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to pest control, with four bedbug violation notices issued between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these appear to be more administrative in nature.

Recent bedbug filings from 2024 and 2025 show no infestations or eradication efforts required, suggesting effective pest management in recent years. The most recent housing maintenance code violation and rodent inspection from 2024 show continued compliance, with no current violations on record. The building's age (built in 1920) and history of heating and pest-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent records indicate improvements in both bedbug management and general compliance.
