125 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

125 Evergreen Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Avrumi Licht. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns centering around heating problems - with violations issued in January 2025 affecting the entire building. Multiple HPD inspections in 2024 revealed several unresolved maintenance issues, including plumbing problems, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

The building has documented rodent activity from 2023 through 2025, with multiple bait applications and compliance inspections showing ongoing infestations. Significant violations were issued in 2024 regarding lead paint hazards in Apartment 2L, particularly affecting walls, door frames, and radiators, along with safety concerns about carbon monoxide detectors and flooring in this unit. The building also has a history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about slow leaks and mold problems recorded in 2024.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2019 through 2024, with zero reported infestations or eradications in any dwelling units during this period. While there have been some complaints about unauthorized commercial use and after-hours work in 2020-2023, these were either dismissed or the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The building's age and class as an Old Law Tenement are reflected in the various maintenance issues, particularly regarding lead paint management and heating system concerns that have persisted into 2025.
