139 Woodbine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 139 Woodbine Street in Bushwick, owned by Tom Sinai, is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1910. The building's most significant recent issues occurred in early 2022, when two separate complaints were filed regarding a lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, classified as emergency situations by the Housing Maintenance Code. Unfortunately, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to the units for inspection in both cases, and the complaints were subsequently closed.

A building permit complaint was filed in May 2022 but was dismissed with no violations found upon inspection in July of that year. The property has demonstrated a consistently good track record regarding pest management, with bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024 showing zero infested units in all annual filings. The building has also maintained a strong record in rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections conducted in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

While there were two failures in initial rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, compliance inspections following these failures resulted in passing grades. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 indicates ongoing successful management of pest control. The substantial gap between the heat/hot water issues in 2022 and the more recent rodent inspections suggests that the building has maintained stable conditions over the past several years, with no reported heat or pest issues in more recent inspections.
