1433 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement at 1433 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Soopchand Chetram, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in September 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with violations issued during one of the inspections. A notable event occurred in November 2022 when a fire outbreak rendered third-floor apartments 3L and 3R unsafe for occupancy, resulting in a $1,562 penalty.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in 2022 and 2024, along with an electrical power outage and cooking gas issues in 2022. In terms of habitability concerns, apartment 2R has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, window guards, and rodent infestations, though many of these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's boiler system has been a recurring point of concern, with multiple complaints about defective or inoperative equipment between 2019 and 2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access during their investigations.

The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the past three years, with the most recent inspections in December 2024 and June 2025 showing compliance. While the building experienced a brief period of sanitary concerns in late 2024 with violations regarding mice and roaches in apartment 2R, these were addressed within a few months. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradication efforts required since 2019, indicating effective pest management procedures.
