850 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

850 Flushing Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Teresa Wasersztrom. The building has a concerning pattern of open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, all of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. Additionally, there are persistent Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports, with records showing violations issued from 2018 through 2024 that remain active.

The building also had a boiler inspection violation for failure to file the 2017 report, which is still active as of October 2023. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent inspections from 2025 and 2024 passing successfully. However, there were periods of rat activity noted in late 2020, specifically in September and November.

The building experienced multiple complaints in February 2023 regarding unpermitted work, including potentially unlicensed plumbing work, though inspections did not warrant any violations at that time. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since late 2020, the failure to address both bedbug reporting violations and multiple outstanding DOB violations related to pressure system and boiler inspections raises concerns about maintenance oversight. The building's documented history shows regular interaction with housing regulatory agencies, particularly in terms of violations that remain open across multiple years.
