317 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 317 Bushwick Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Nancy Dejesus, has a significant and concerning history of pest control issues, particularly related to rodents and bedbugs. The building has received multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints between 2021 and 2022 regarding food establishment violations involving rodents/insects/garbage and animal-related issues, all of which were subsequently closed.

More troubling are the four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 indicating non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, which remain unresolved as of 2024. The building's structural integrity has been a concern, particularly during 2020 when three separate complaints were filed regarding building stability issues, including shaking/vibration concerns which resulted in violations. These complaints coincided with neighboring construction activity at 315 Bushwick Avenue, which allegedly caused hairline cracks to form in the property's front room along the fireplace and middle room ceiling.

Additionally, the property has two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 related to unauthorized signage installation and failure to comply with correction orders, with associated penalties totaling $2,498. Earlier maintenance history shows a rodent problem in 2010, though subsequent inspections in that year reported compliance, suggesting some pest control efforts were made. While some issues have been addressed and closed, the persistence of certain violations, particularly the bedbug reporting requirement non-compliance, suggests ongoing management challenges.
