1448 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The two-story converted-class A building at 1448 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Matthew Ahdoot and constructed in 1899, has recently faced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2024. In April 2024, multiple emergency service requests were filed, including complaints about heavy water leaks, mold issues, and indoor air quality concerns involving sewage odors. While some of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued.

However, one notable situation emerged involving a staircase modification in Apartment 1, where a legal compliance issue was identified regarding a wood staircase built from the cellar into the kitchen area, though this violation was later certified as resolved in July 2024. Throughout 2024 and into 2025, the building has maintained an active rodent management program, with multiple bait applications in 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed without any rodent activity. The building's bedbug reporting history shows a significant reduction in infestation between 2020-2021 (with three units affected) compared to zero infestations reported in subsequent years through 2024.

While some electrical and flooring complaints were filed in 2024, and there were issues with heavy water flow reported both as emergency situations and non-emergency complaints, most of these cases ended without violations being issued. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has passed recent rodent inspections, suggesting some improvement in pest management. Of particular note is a remaining open violation as of 2024 regarding water buildup in the cellar, though no violation status is currently indicated in the records.
