33 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

This three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 33 Bushwick Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Robert Weil and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recent rodent-related problems, with multiple complaints filed in August 2024, though one inspection during that period resulted in a "Passed" designation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has demonstrated inconsistent performance in addressing rodent activity, with inspections in late 2023 showing rat activity, while earlier inspections in January 2023 and September 2024 passed. In late 2021, the building faced a series of multiple maintenance issues, with tenants reporting problems including plumbing, electrical, safety concerns (including broken/missing window guards), unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), and paint/plaster issues.

These complaints were thoroughly investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, but no violations were issued, and all complaints were subsequently closed. A bedbug violation was recorded in February 2022 regarding the annual reporting requirement, though the building has maintained a clean record in subsequent bedbug filings from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and consistently filed accurate bedbug reports, the pattern of rodent complaints and historical maintenance issues suggests ongoing vigilance is necessary regarding building conditions.
