206 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

206 Bushwick Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Daniel Margulies. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints from tenants, some of which resulted in HPD violations. Recent inspections have revealed several open housing code violations, including safety concerns in apartment 4R related to carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector functionality, as well as bathroom light fixture issues.

The property shows an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges, including door/window problems (multiple instances), an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage issue in 2025, and various appliance and electrical concerns. Of particular note is the failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, which represents a significant compliance issue. Historical records indicate previous rodent activity in 2019 and 2011, though the building passed inspections in prior and subsequent years.

Earlier violations from December 2023-2024 included maintenance issues in both apartments 3L and 4R, covering topics such as door functionality, ventilation systems, and bathroom conditions. While some service requests were resolved without violations being found, the persistence of certain issues, particularly regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history of complaints indicate that while some issues have been addressed, there remains a pattern of recurring maintenance needs that affect multiple units.
