1289 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1289 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit old-law tenement building built in 1931, currently owned by Ismael Feliciano. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water problem affecting the entire building reported in November 2023, which resulted in open violations for inadequate heat supply and locked boiler room access. Previous documented concerns include multiple simultaneous issues in December 2022 involving mold, water leaks, and electrical problems, though no violations were ultimately issued. In late 2020, several appliance-related issues were reported and inspected, including problems with the refrigerator and electric/gas range, as well as flooring and paint/plaster concerns; violations were issued regarding wall paint requirements.
The building's maintenance record shows attention to pest control, with Bedbug Reporting from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infestation cases. However, there have been notable violations requiring attention, particularly regarding mold remediation in Apartment 2B and various open violations from 2020-2021 including improper fire escape access due to furniture blocking egress. Recent rodent inspections have yielded mixed results, with some showing rat activity in 2021 and 2024, though most recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The building's heater system and related infrastructure appear to be ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the recent heating complaints and associated violations.
The property has maintained compliance with bedbug regulations, showing no reported infestations. However, the repeated heating system issues and various maintenance violations over recent years suggest an ongoing need for building system maintenance and tenant comfort improvements. Recent rodent control efforts have shown improvement, with most recent inspections passing. The building has also maintained its legal requirements for annual bedbug reporting, showing no infestation history since 2020.
