1295 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1295 Greene Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building in Bushwick, owned by Benny Brver and constructed in 2017. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024, including multiple reports of water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), pest infestations, flooring problems, and wall maintenance issues. These complaints, filed in May 2024, could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues.

The building has a documented history of plumbing problems, with both emergency and non-emergency water supply issues reported and addressed in 2024 and 2022 respectively. Safety concerns were noted in 2021 regarding broken or missing window guards in Apartment 1A, though this violation was later closed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug and rodent control, with no documented bedbug infestations since 2019 and regular rodent inspections passing in 2024 and 2025, despite some initial rat activity detections.

The building's violation history reveals multiple administrative code requirements related to safety documentation and building maintenance, particularly in 2021, when violations were issued for missing safety notices regarding gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and the building's registration number. While these violations were subsequently addressed, they highlight the building's need for improved maintenance oversight. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues over the years, with slow and heavy leaks reported in both 2024 and 2022. Despite these challenges, the building's recent rodent inspection results indicate improved management of pest control efforts, with only occasional initial detections of rat activity in 2021 and 2023, though a compliance inspection in February 2025 indicated no active issues.
