596 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The four-story, 21-unit building at 596 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Jacob Hager, has experienced recurring issues with essential services in recent years. Between January and April 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with at least seven documented complaints, though HPD inspections confirmed restoration of services in each case. More recently, in April 2025, a lighting issue was reported and investigated by HPD, but no code violations were found.
The building has maintained an active rodent management program, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and 2025, though inspections have consistently found rat activity, with the most recent initial inspection in July 2025 confirming continued presence. The building's maintenance history shows both resolved and ongoing issues. A 2024 inspection found a Class C violation regarding defective vestibule doors on the first story, while a Class A violation from 2024 remains open concerning window spring balance issues in apartment 9.
Previous years have shown attention to safety concerns, with violations related to fire escape obstructions being addressed in 2019-2021, and consistent bedbug reporting compliance showing zero infestations from 2019 through 2024. The building had one documented violation in 2023 regarding external low-pressure inspection filing, which was dismissed. While the building's management has addressed various maintenance issues throughout the years, the recurring heat/hot water problems and persistent rodent activity represent the most significant ongoing concerns from a resident comfort and safety perspective.
