80 Newport Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement at 80 Newport Street in Brownsville, owned by Gary Golding and built in 1930, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water-related problems and mold. In recent months (2024-2025), there have been multiple complaints and violations involving mold, water leaks, and plumbing issues in Apartment 2A, which is clearly experiencing persistent problems. These issues include open violations for defective plaster surfaces, leaky faucets, missing smoke detector, mold conditions, broken bathtub stopper, bathroom flushing apparatus, and water leak evidence - all documented during a December 2024 inspection with certified violations issued.
The building has also received multiple HPD complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold throughout 2024-2025, with inspections showing varying outcomes - some conditions were found not to violate housing laws, while others received violation citations. Past issues include plumbing problems in December 2024 affecting both bathtub/shower and basin/sink, and ceiling paint/plaster concerns. The building is currently under scrutiny for recent complaints (April 2025) regarding ceiling paint issues and mold, though HPD's inspection found no violations for the mold complaint.
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the last five years, there were documented rat activities noted during rodent inspections in 2022, indicating some pest management challenges. The property has undergone several emergency inspections in 2024-2025, and while some issues have been addressed, multiple open violations remain, particularly concerning safety devices and plumbing systems. The recent pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting the second-floor unit, though it's worth noting that many past complaints were resolved either through inspection or tenant confirmation of corrections.
