799 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11206

799 Broadway is a three-story, two-family house located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Yusuf Ahmad. The building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, most prominently in 2021 when significant housing maintenance violations were documented in Apartment 2, including multiple problems with mold, pest infestations (both cockroaches and mice), and various maintenance concerns such as broken plastered surfaces and defective doors. Though some of these violations were subsequently closed, several higher-class violations (B and C) regarding maintenance and infestation issues remained open as of the last inspection date in 2021.

The building has undergone periodic rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with most recent inspections showing improvements, including two 'Passed' results in 2025 and early 2024. However, concerningly, a pattern of rat activity was noted in inspections conducted in July 2024 and November 2021. Other notable incidents include a health department complaint about standing water on the roof in 2022, though inspectors were unable to access the property for inspection.

The Department of Buildings has a record of various complaints and violations, including a 2018 case regarding non-compliance with a commissioner's order and a 2020 drainage-related complaint which resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. A bedbug report from 2022 indicated no infestation during the prior year. While there have been some improvements in building conditions as evidenced by recent passed inspections, the property's history shows recurring maintenance and pest control challenges that warrant attention.
