1392 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The six-unit tenement building at 1392 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Lisa Bianco, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly related to sanitation and pest control. Most recently, in June 2025, there was an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, which remains unresolved as of this report date. The property has a documented history of rodent-related problems, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2024, though an initial inspection in March 2025 passed without issues.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations in 2022 related to conditions attracting rodents, though a 2024 inspection cleared the property of any violations. In terms of building maintenance compliance, a violation was issued in June 2023 regarding the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection from 2018, though this was subsequently dismissed in July 2023. Interestingly, the building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over several years, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

This pattern suggests effective management of bedbug prevention measures, contrasting sharply with the more persistent rodent issues. While the property has passed several recent inspections, the ongoing garbage/recycling storage issues as of mid-2025 and the historical pattern of rodent activity indicate some challenges with maintaining optimal living conditions. The building, constructed in 1931, has a notable age and history as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT," which typically includes unique architectural and maintenance characteristics compared to newer buildings.
