66 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Located in Williamsburg, this three-story, two-family house at 66 Bushwick Avenue was built in 1901 and is currently owned by Lendita Mavraj. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns emerging in 2024.

In April 2024, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with paint/plaster on cabinets, door problems, water leaks resulting in damp spots, and pest infestations. While HPD inspected these conditions, no violations were issued in any of these cases, though one pest-related complaint resulted in the inspectors being unable to gain access to conduct a full inspection. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with three separate rat sightings reported in 2023 alone, including inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that found minor violations.

An earlier rodent complaint from April 2022 resulted in identified violations and follow-up inspections. In addition to these ongoing pest concerns, there was a significant building law enforcement action in March 2024 regarding illegal conversion, which was investigated in June 2024 and resulted in an Oath violation being served, with disposition occurring on June 21, 2024. While many of the recent complaints were classified as non-emergency, the door-related issue in April 2024 was categorized as an emergency, highlighting its potential impact on resident safety or security.
