1552 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, three-unit NEW LAW TENEMENT building at 1552 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Laurent Wendum and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues in recent years. Most concerning is the recent rat sighting in July 2023, which followed previous inspections in 2023 revealing rat activity in October and May 2024. While the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, it indicates ongoing rodent management challenges.
The building has also faced environmental concerns, with two separate mold complaints filed in late 2021 and early 2022, one of which resulted in an inability for inspectors to gain access, though no violations were ultimately found in the other inspection. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by multiple filings from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units. However, there have been three recorded violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, which were subsequently closed.
The building's rodent control efforts show some fluctuation, with passed inspections in 2012, 2013, 2022, and most recently in 2025, although there were instances of rat activity in 2023 and May 2024. The property has also experienced some challenges with access for inspections, as demonstrated by the 2022 mold complaint where inspectors were unable to access the premises. While recent inspections suggest improvements in compliance, the building's history indicates recurring issues with pests and moisture-related problems that have required ongoing attention from city agencies.
