1397 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1397 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Leib Flohr, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2019. Most recently, in mid-2024, there were complaints about door conditions and pest issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.
The building faced multiple challenges in 2022, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems in Ground Floor Apartment 1R, with HPD issuing violations related to inadequate heat and excessively hot water. The building has a documented history of rodent-related concerns, with several inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 resulted in "Passed" findings.
Other significant maintenance issues have included electrical concerns in 2019, when multiple violations related to wiring and lighting were reported and subsequently addressed. The building's safety systems were also a focus in 2022, with violations recorded for defective self-closing doors and building entrance locks, all of which were eventually resolved. Notably, the property has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug management, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.
