379 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 379 Bushwick Avenue in Williamsburg, currently owned by Karen Lau, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in spring 2025, there was a significant water leak reported, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the condition during their visit.

Historical complaints include a brief period without heat or hot water in November 2018 (though service was reportedly restored), refrigerator issues in the same month, and a locked egress situation that was inspected but found not to warrant a violation. The building has undergone regular inspections and received citations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports in 2018, 2021, and 2024, though recent filings show no current infestations or issues. Additional historical violations included a gas leak safety notice requirement and a housing information guide notice requirement, both certified as corrected in January 2019.

Recent mechanical and safety compliance issues include a February 2022 citation regarding boiler room access signage, which was resolved, and an active violation as of June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. The bedbug reporting history from 2023-2025 shows zero reported infestations, with all units marked as free of pests during the most recent reporting periods. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring inspections and corrections over the years, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the resolution of many historical violations suggest ongoing compliance efforts by the management.
