461 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story, six-unit tenement at 461 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Kwok Hung Ng, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity.

The building has undergone at least eight bait application interventions between April 2024 and July 2025, indicating persistent challenges with vermin control. The Department of Buildings has recorded an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file a required 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though the status of this violation remains undetermined.

On a more positive note regarding resident welfare, the building has maintained commendable bedbug management practices, with the most recent five annual reports (from 2020-2021 through 2024-2025) consistently showing zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, and no need for eradication measures. The only bedbug-related violation on record was issued in April 2021 regarding the late filing of the annual report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports have been submitted regularly and on time. The building, constructed in 1931 under the Old Law Tenement classification, has demonstrated responsible handling of its bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no infestations recorded in any of the reporting periods.
