1357 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1357 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Dennis Geoghan. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most notably in January 2020 when multiple complaints (five in total) were filed regarding building-wide heating and hot water problems, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations specifically affected Apartment 3R, concerning inadequate heat supply and lack of hot water at fixtures. Following these events, there was one plumbing complaint in March 2020, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt to investigate.

More recently, the building has had persistent rodent activity issues, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing "Passed" status. Throughout 2024, there were several instances of rat activity noted during compliance inspections, and previous inspections in 2023 showed a mix of passed and failed results, including a failure for "Other Reasons." The building's bedbug reports for the past five years (2019-2024) show consistently zero infested units, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The property's maintenance record shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing concerns, with the most significant historical pattern being the heat/hot water issues in early 2020, which were addressed through subsequent inspections and violations.
