Eight-unit Greenpoint rental where the open code record is purely administrative, though nearby kitchen exhaust bears watching.
An eight-unit Greenpoint rental built in 1928, held by the Rurak family from 1974 until 319 Eckford Street LLC bought it in late 2015. The building carries open paperwork violations alongside active neighborhood commercial venting calls. Three things to know:
Open violations are administrative filings rather than physical defects. The building carries two open Class A violations — one from June 2025 and one from May 2026 — for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report. These are administrative paperwork notices rather than active infestation findings, but they remain open on file.
Commercial food exhaust and odor calls concentrate nearby. 17 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, with the most recent filed September 17, 2026. Kitchen venting and odor drift are invisible until move-in, so checking shaft and window alignment against ground-level food spaces matters.
Street parking and sidewalk blockages lead neighborhood complaints. 516 illegal parking calls were logged within three blocks in the past year, driven by 198 blocked-sidewalk calls and 171 permit-use calls — commercial loading and curb-turnover friction rather than stored cars.
