393 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

393 Bushwick Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit old law tenement building located in Williamsburg and owned by Mayer Friedman. Built in 1931, the building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding ceiling issues (both mold and paint/plaster problems) that were designated as non-emergency and emergency situations, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building also had persistent safety concerns in 2018, including a broken/missing window guard and door issues, with inspectors again unable to access for verification. The property has documented violations related to safety and maintenance requirements, including multiple instances from 2018-2022 requiring the posting of critical safety information in common areas such as carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information. More recently, in 2023-2024, the building was cited for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the building's bedbug reporting record shows consistent compliance with no infestations reported since at least 2019.

The most recent violations from 2017 involved issues in Apartment 2R, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors and bathroom/kitchen floor tiles, though these were certified as resolved in 2024. While the bedbug infestation reports for the past several years show consistent zero counts, the building's history of access issues during inspections, recurring safety concerns, and delayed resolutions of maintenance problems suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and regulatory compliance. The most recent inspection data available through October 2023 indicates a continuing need for attention to both building safety systems and proper regulatory filings.
