459 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

459 Bushwick Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Fekete. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with notable clusters of complaints in 2021. March 2021 was particularly problematic, with multiple reports of water leaks, door/window issues, and plumbing problems, though most of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations, with the exception of one paint/plaster violation.

The building has also faced rodent-related challenges, with recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, though the building passed other inspections in this category. A food poisoning incident was reported and investigated by the Department of Health in November 2024, though it was deemed isolated. The building's maintenance history reveals several infrastructure and safety concerns that were addressed through various agency inspections.

These include multiple violations related to the building's entrance security, such as requiring self-closing doors and glass panes in 2021, and general maintenance issues like dirty floors and household items blocking public areas. While there have been some environmental control board violations related to work without permits in 2018, these were resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations, indicating successful pest management in this regard. Regular rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 show a mix of results, with some inspections passing and others noting rat activity, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts.
