243 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The two-family residence at 243 Bushwick Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Bin Lin, is a two-story building constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several noteworthy incidents in recent years, with particular attention required for rodent-related issues.

In 2023, the building was involved in a food poisoning incident investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), though this was deemed isolated and not indicative of broader sanitary problems. The DOHMH had previously identified rodent-attractive conditions in September 2022, and while a follow-up inspection was scheduled, records show that both the July and November 2022 inspections passed, despite an initial October 2022 inspection revealing rat activity. A similar pattern was observed in 2012 when the building also showed evidence of rat activity during an inspection, though subsequent compliance inspections passed.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record in recent years regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent three annual filings (2022 through 2024) reporting zero affected units, eradications, or re-infestations. The property continues to be subject to regular inspections, with the most recent DOHMH interactions focusing on the food safety incident in late 2023 and rodent-related concerns in 2022. While the building has faced some pest-related challenges in the past, particularly in 2012 and 2022, the more recent years have shown improved conditions, though occasional violations have required follow-up inspections.
