68 George Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 68 George Street in Bushwick, owned by Samuel Landau, has experienced ongoing maintenance concerns over the past several years, with the most recent violations documented in May 2024. Currently, there are multiple open violations including required repairs to ceilings in apartment 3R, installation of a self-closing fire-rated door, and various posting requirements related to safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with reports of heavy water flow in May 2023 and water supply problems in October 2022, along with multiple mold complaints between 2020 and 2023.
Rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity and repeated bait applications. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly relating to pests and mold, though not all complaints resulted in violations. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed multiple safety-related violations that require attention, including missing safety notices and documentation requirements.
While the building has filed bedbug reports for two consecutive years (2021-2022 and 2022-2023) showing no infested units, the presence of rats and other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. An illegal hotel room complaint was made in 2018, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed compliance, though previous inspections throughout 2024 consistently indicated rat activity requiring bait application.
