141 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

141 Evergreen Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and owned by Luis Marte. The property has a concerning pattern of unresolved bedbug reporting violations, with four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving open citations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules.

More significantly, there are serious outstanding safety violations from early 2020, including two active Environmental Control Board violations related to fire safety - one for an obstructed exit passageway with an improperly installed fire escape ladder (penalty: $6,250) and another for unauthorized construction work in a first-floor deli store involving commercial kitchen equipment and gas installation (penalty: $12,500). These violations include additional immediate hazard classification issues that remain active and have not been properly certified as corrected. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance in certain areas, particularly with regard to rodent control, as evidenced by passing inspections in 2022 through 2025.

However, the persistent bedbug report violations and serious fire safety concerns are notable safety issues. The property has undergone some changes over time, including the installation of commercial kitchen equipment in the first-floor deli space in 2020, which was done without proper permits and subsequently resulted in an ECB violation. Despite these concerns, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past five years, indicating effective pest control measures are currently in place.
