900 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 900 Flushing Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Ausch and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance events over recent years. Most notably, the building has had recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints recorded in September 2019 that resulted in HPD violations, specifically affecting apartment 1L which experienced both inadequate hot water and gas supply problems.

The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past five filing periods. A relatively recent administrative violation was recorded in June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in July 2023. The building's rodent inspection history shows some fluctuation in results, with two incidents of rat activity recorded in June 2021 and November 2024, though all other inspections from 2022 through 2025 have passed.

Recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) show a consistent pattern of maintaining a pest-free environment, and the building has shown general compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation from March 2023 related to annual bedbug reporting requirements illustrates ongoing administrative compliance requirements rather than safety concerns. The combined history of heat/hot water issues, rodent inspections, and periodic violations suggests a building requiring regular oversight, while the absence of recent major health or safety violations indicates some improvement in recent years, particularly regarding pest management and general building conditions.
