436 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 436 Bleecker Street in Bushwick, owned by Richard Pienczykowski, has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized curb cuts and illegal parking facilities over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024 and continuing into 2025, the building has faced multiple complaints and violations related to an illegally installed parking stall in the front yard, measuring approximately 12 feet by 12 feet, which was found to be non-compliant with required legal dimensions.

These violations resulted in an active $1,280 penalty as of March 2024. The building's history also shows a pattern of similar complaints dating back to 2019, with varying inspection outcomes, though some inspections found no violations at the time. Notably, there were also violations in 2018 regarding unpermitted sidewalk curb cuts for vehicle access, though these were later resolved.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025), and has passed multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2012 and 2025, with only one failed inspection in 2016 for unspecified reasons. This suggests generally good overall building maintenance and pest management practices, despite the recurring issues with the unauthorized parking facility. The building's chronic violation history regarding the parking area suggests an ongoing enforcement challenge, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 determining that no violations were warranted at the time of inspection, though this contradicts the earlier active violation status from March 2024.
