63 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 63 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Phillip Miller, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding tenant comfort and safety. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with emergency complaints registered in January 2024 and a similar situation reported in October 2023, though inspectors were unable to access some units for verification.

The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, specifically mold, with emergency complaints in October 2023 and August 2022, though no violations were issued following inspections in the first instance. Of particular concern is an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection, which remains unresolved as of the current date.

The building's history shows persistent maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple violations recorded in 1997 that were eventually certified as corrected in 2019, addressing issues such as broken cellar ceiling plaster, missing air vent covers, and structural problems with ceiling beams. While the bedbug reports for the past few years consistently show zero infested units, the property has experienced rodent activity, as evidenced by inspections in January and April 2023. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the last three annual periods, though there was a violation noted in 2021 for failing to file the required report.
