Family-held Greenpoint six-unit where basic filings and common-area upkeep have slipped, while neighborhood food venting and park activity define the block.
Six-unit Greenpoint brick building held by the Lepicki family since 1979, with a 2015 transfer into a family trust. Long-term family ownership is evident, but operational filings and hallway upkeep have lapsed while neighborhood commercial activity bubbles around it. Three things to know:
Open violations point to missed annual paperwork and blocked public halls. The building carries 11 open violations. Seven are Class A items for unfiled annual bedbug reports stretching from 2023 through 2026. The rest flag missing property registrations and uncleared hallway hazards from March 2023, including a dishwasher stored on the first floor and household goods blocking the third floor.
Air quality and commercial kitchen venting generate neighborhood complaints. Within three blocks, residents logged seven food establishment complaints and three indoor air quality calls over the last year, with air quality last cited in May 2026. Kitchen exhausts and commercial food venting on nearby storefronts can drift through open windows or shared air shafts depending on wind and unit orientation.
McGolrick Park activity and curb pressure dominate the immediate surroundings. Within three blocks over the last year, neighbors logged 275 park animal complaints—mostly off-leash dogs near McGolrick Park—alongside 140 illegal parking calls, focused heavily on blocked hydrants and overnight commercial vehicles. While not logged directly against this building, curb and park usage drive the block's daily tempo.
