139 Newport Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit building at 139 Newport Street in Brownsville, owned by Emmanuel Nwokedi, has demonstrated a recurring pattern of heating system issues over recent years, with multiple heat and hot water complaints documented between 2018 and 2020. Notable incidents include two separate emergency complaints in December 2020 regarding heat/hot water problems, as well as two related complaints from October and November 2018, though in each case heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time of HPD inspections.
More recent concerns include a February 2024 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that was inspected by HPD with no violations found, and a February 2024 mouse sighting complaint that was also investigated by DOHMH with no violations noted. The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations that were subsequently addressed, including issues with door security features in December 2020 related to illegal double-cylinder locks and plexiglass panels, and various notification requirements such as gas leak procedures, heat system keyholder information, and smoke detector requirements.
As of the latest bedbug report from June 2025, all four units have been reported as eradicated from any infestations, with no new cases recorded in the previous filing periods since 2019-2020. The property has maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections, passing a March 2024 evaluation. Separate violation notices issued in 2020 regarding bedbug reporting requirements were eventually resolved, and the building's current status shows no active violations, with all previous Class A and B violations having been certified as closed.
