28 Locust Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 17-unit, 3-story building at 28 Locust Street in Bushwick, owned by Jacob Hoffman and constructed in 1890, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent significant violation involves an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage documented in June 2023, which resulted in violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirming refuse accumulation and an active rodent infestation in the front area as of June 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of concerns, including a 2024 plumbing complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues, a 2020 Indoor Air Quality complaint, and an illegal conversion case from 2019 that resulted in a violation for unauthorized gas line modifications in apartment 202. The property's rodent control efforts have shown mixed results; while recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have generally passed, there were documented rat activity incidents in 2021 and August 2020.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. Multiple housing violations have been issued over the years, though some were resolved without penalties, such as the 2019 ECB violation regarding unpermitted gas line modifications. Housing Maintenance Code violations for garbage accumulation and rodent issues, which typically suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, have been more recent and potentially indicate current resident experience concerns.
