315 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 12-unit residential building at 315 Bushwick Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Asher Paskes, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several building maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in July 2024, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and electrical outlet issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. During 2023-2024, there were multiple pest-related complaints, including a specific open violation as of October 2023 regarding a mouse and rat infestation in apartment 1B.

Other notable issues include water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), problems with paint and plaster on walls and ceilings, and violations related to building security, including an open violation from August 2024 concerning illegal double cylinder locks on the building's front entrance gate. The building's construction phase in 2020 was marked by several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including multiple instances of work continuing in violation of stop work orders and failures to provide required plans and documentation at the job site. There were also incidents requiring penalties, such as a $12,500 fine for continuing work while under a stop work order.

More recently, there have been ongoing issues with filing required external low-pressure inspections from 2019-2023, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. While bedbug reports filed from 2022-2024 show no infestation cases in the building, a rodent inspection in 2021 resulted in a failed inspection for unspecified reasons. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with pests and maintenance compliance, particularly evident through multiple HPD complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions and building systems.
