20 Park Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

20 Park Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Victor Rivera. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant recent concerns occurring in 2023. In April 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, including problems with lighting, door conditions, flooring, wall maintenance, and smoke detector functionality.

More recently, in October 2023, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has also faced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing "Rat Activity," though some inspections resulted in "Passed" status. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2022 and 2024, showing zero infested dwelling units during these periods.

Historical records show previous violations related to bedbug reporting in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been resolved. An electrical lighting issue was also reported in September 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. The building's most recent inspection history for 2023-2025 indicates an ongoing struggle with rodent activity, despite some inspections passing, suggesting persistent pest control challenges. While many reported issues have been addressed promptly, the pattern of recurring complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
