1373 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1373 Greene Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Yoel Shafer. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple DOHMH complaints and inspections showing rat activity from 2023 through 2025.
The building has also faced significant safety and maintenance concerns in recent years, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2024 related to failure to maintain proper safety notices (carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures) and encumbrances in public hall areas. These violations, some of which are marked as "Open," highlight ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The building's recent history indicates a complex pattern of maintenance issues, including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage between 2021 and 2022, as well as various emergency complaints regarding safety features such as door/window maintenance and electrical lighting in 2018-2019.
There have been several significant construction-related concerns, including a 2024 violation regarding an unauthorized staircase installation in Apartment 1L that penetrated multiple floor levels, and historical issues related to plumbing work that resulted in stop work orders in 2020. While the building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2020-2025 showing no infestations, the persistent rodent activity and regulatory violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management systems.
