63 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

63 Central Avenue is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Ismael Feliciano. The property has experienced recurring issues with its elevator system, most recently resulting in active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 with substantial penalties ($12,500 each) for being the only elevator in the building out of service, creating hazardous conditions. The building has faced multiple water-related problems, particularly affecting apartment 5E, with open violations dating from August 2023 related to water leaks, mold issues, and defective plaster/paint surfaces.

Between April 2024 and June 2025, there have been several emergency service requests regarding plumbing and water leak problems, including recent complaints about bathtub/shower issues in April 2025. The building's maintenance history shows various systems needing attention, including ventilation, general maintenance, and heat/hot water issues. Notably, there have been multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2023 and 2025, with several baiting operations conducted throughout 2024.

The property has shown consistent problems with building systems and infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for mold conditions, water leaks, and ventilation issues. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the persistent maintenance issues and active violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The most recent inspection activity includes rodent, elevator, and general building system evaluations, with several open violations remaining unresolved as of June 2025.
