70 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

70 Bushwick Avenue is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 2016, located in Williamsburg and currently owned by Moshe Berger. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with three documented incidents of slow leaks between July 2023 and August 2024, the most recent involving violations identified in Apartment 3C that required repairs to the ceiling. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly during 2022, when multiple violations were recorded including issues with mold, pests, electrical systems, and deteriorating surfaces.

Specific problems included a mold outbreak, pest infestations in Apartment 1A, and multiple violations regarding damaged ceilings and floors. The building's common areas have also experienced water-related problems, with violations noted in both the 2nd story public hall and basement areas. The property has been subject to scrutiny regarding potential unauthorized uses, with multiple complaints about possible illegal hotel rooms registered between 2018 and 2022; however, inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification.

While the building has had some rodent activity as noted in inspections from 2018 and 2022, recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 show no infestations, suggesting improved pest management. The most recent violations from August 2024 involved maintenance issues in Apartment 3C, including defective self-closing doors and water leak concerns. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has demonstrated some improvements in recent years, with fewer documented violations and complaints compared to 2022.
