1413 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1413 Greene Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Mala Raghbeer. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular attention needed to the first-floor apartment (1R), which has had multiple violations including carbon monoxide detector problems, smoke detector issues, and previous rodent and pest infestations in 2021. The property has also faced appliance-related concerns, with two separate refrigerator complaints in 2021 resulting in violations, though no specific details are available about the nature of these violations.

Additionally, there have been several plumbing-related complaints between 2018 and 2020 involving various fixtures such as sinks, radiators, and steam pipes, some of which required inspections that could not be completed due to access issues. More recently, the building has shown some concerning patterns regarding pest management and maintenance compliance. While the bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no confirmed infestations, there have been consistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though these were subsequently closed. The property has also experienced rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, and previous bait applications in 2021 and compliance inspections showing continued rodent presence.

The most recent violations from 2024 indicate an infraction for not filing the annual bedbug report, though the building's recent filings show zero infested units in the most current reporting period (2024-2025). The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both urgent and non-urgent issues requiring attention, with particular attention needed to ensure compliance with safety requirements such as carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms. Despite the recent closures of many violations, the recurring nature of some complaints and the recent rodent activity in 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed several rodent inspections in 2022-2024, but recent results indicate the need for continued monitoring and potential remediation efforts.
