535 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

535 Washington Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Duke Saunders and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property. The building has experienced several significant events over the past five years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in February 2019 when two heating-related complaints were lodged - one for the entire building and another for an individual apartment.

While the building-wide complaint was marked as an emergency situation, HPD's inability to gain access for inspection resulted in the individual complaint's closure. More recently, in April 2025, there was a report of excessive debris, though no violation was warranted upon inspection. The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug issues in recent years.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing no infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases in any dwelling units. The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2024, listed zero infested units, maintaining the building's clean record in this regard. Additionally, the property has demonstrated compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, though there were three instances between 2021 and 2023 (specifically in 2021, 2022, and March 2023) where violations were issued for failure to file the annual bedbug report, representing a technical non-compliance that was subsequently addressed.
