137 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

137 Evergreen Avenue is a 6-unit, 2-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Cham Bril. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate incidents documented between December 2020 and January 2022, though in each case, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before HPD's inspection. More recently, in January 2024, there were two appliance-related complaints (refrigerator and electric/gas range) that were addressed, with the refrigerator issue being specifically resolved.

The building has maintained a C-grade rodent control record, with consistent passing inspections noted between 2023-2025, though earlier inspections between 2021-2022 showed rat activity requiring bait application. The property has faced several significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018, when multiple violations were recorded including defective fire egress, rear yard access issues, boiler room door problems, and compromised ceilings in multiple apartments (1A, 2A, 2C). These violations, along with a water damage citation and the requirement for proper bedbug reporting, were all addressed and closed.

Of particular note is the most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025, which indicates no current infestations across all units. The building's history shows a transition from various maintenance challenges to improved conditions, with recent years reflecting regular rodent inspections showing consistent compliance and the resolution of earlier violations. The property has maintained its bedbug reporting requirements in 2024 and 2025, showing improved compliance with this specific regulation compared to previous years.
