79 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 79 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Zourtsa Holdings LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year. In March 2024, the building faced multiple complaints and violations regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with doors and windows, unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, and concerns about ventilation systems, fire escapes, and plumbing infrastructure such as radiators and water supply systems.

Notably, two of these complaints were classified as emergencies and required immediate attention. However, despite the volume of complaints, all were ultimately closed without any recorded violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 passing without issues, despite one inspection in February 2024 indicating rat activity. Importantly, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five years, with no documented infestations or eradications between 2019 and 2024. While the building has demonstrated compliance with annual pest control requirements and has shown improvements in rodent management, the cluster of maintenance issues in March 2024 suggests there may be ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure that warrant attention.
