1143 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1143 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2025, including electrical problems with outlets/switches (March 2025) and plumbing issues with sinks (June 2025).
A concerning pattern of emergency complaints was recorded in 2021, involving multiple plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and basin/sink problems), door/window concerns (both window and door frames), and a smoke detector safety issue. While some of these complaints resulted in inspections that found no violations, several (including the 2025 electricity issue) could not be properly inspected at the time of the complaint. The building has maintained a consistent bedbug-free record across multiple reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, with no reported infestations or eradications.
However, there have been persistent rodent activity concerns, with April 2025 and March 2025 inspections showing rat activity, though the building passed previous inspections in 2022-2023. The property had two notable Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2022: one regarding the lack of a posted gas leak emergency procedure and another relating to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though these violations have since been closed. The building's plumbing systems appear to be a recurring issue, with three emergency complaints related to various fixtures recorded in 2025 and 2021, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
