1141 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1141 Greene Avenue, a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably concerning mold and rodent control. The building has a documented history of mold-related violations, with multiple Emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed between 2019-2022, though not all inspections were successfully completed. Recent months have seen continued rodent activity, with inspections in March and April 2025 confirming rat presence, despite some passed inspections in previous years.

The building has also faced challenges with its heating and hot water systems, particularly in late 2022 when multiple violations were issued regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartment 1L. Significant recent events include active violations for failure to file annual boiler inspections from 2018-2023, with penalties totaling $3,125. There was a fire incident affecting apartments 1R and 1L in December 2022, resulting in additional violations related to living space use and plumbing disconnections.

The property has undergone various inspections and responses to complaints about its heating systems, though many inspections did not result in violations being found. Most recently, there are open violations regarding bedbug report filings as of 2024. While the building has passed several rodent inspections since 2021, the most recent inspections in 2025 indicate persistent rodent issues. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with moisture-related problems and boiler compliance, though not all complaints result in identified violations upon inspection.
