127 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 127 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Avrumi Licht, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there was a serious fire incident in mid-2024 that affected multiple apartments, with open violations citing fire damage in apartments 1L, 1R, 2L, 2R, 3L, 3R, 4L, and 4R, as well as damage to public hall ceilings and walls requiring cleaning and disinfection. The building has also faced ongoing heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in late 2023 and a pattern of access denial for inspections.

Unsanitary conditions have been documented regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest infestations, with several complaints between late 2023 and early 2024. The building has been under close monitoring for rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat presence throughout 2023-2025, although there were some inspections that passed. A rodent baiting operation was conducted in July 2024.

The property has maintained a bedbug-free record according to official reporting from 2020 through the present. Recent complaints in 2025 include issues with structural stability and a vacant building situation that warranted an Oath Violation. The building's heating system appears to be a recurring concern, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water systems between October 2023 and December 2023, and recent complaints in 2024-2025 regarding building vacancy and enforcement work. The structure's age and building class (Old Law Tenement) suggest it has experienced typical maintenance challenges associated with such properties, though the recent fire damage represents an unusually severe event requiring substantial remediation.
