Bushwick Place, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Bushwick Place is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Mordechai Schwimmer. The building has experienced several recurring issues with mold and ventilation systems between 2023 and 2024, with four separate emergency complaints about mold received between May and June 2023, along with a ventilation system complaint in July 2023 that required HPD inspection access. Although no violations were issued for the mold complaints, the lack of violations does not necessarily indicate resolution of the conditions reported.

During construction in 2019, there were multiple safety violations documented, including inadequate housekeeping, unmaintained safety measures, and work not conforming to approved construction documents, resulting in fines totaling $3,750. These construction-related violations were resolved, and the building received its necessary permits between July and December 2019. The building's recent history shows consistent monitoring for bedbug infestations, with all annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infestation, eradication, and re-infestation cases.

Earlier in its history, the building experienced rodent-related issues in 2021, with two inspections showing rat activity and inadequate conditions attracting rodents, though subsequent inspections in 2021-2023 did not find ongoing pest control problems. Multiple inspections by various departments, including DOHMH and DOB, have generally supported the building's compliance with major regulations, though a 2020 DOB complaint regarding the certificate of occupancy was investigated and found unsubstantiated based on department records. The building's management has maintained proper bedbug reporting procedures and addressed major maintenance issues as they arise, though the persistence of mold-related complaints suggests ongoing environmental challenges within the building.
