94 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

94 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Zvi Auman. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, with significant issues emerging throughout 2024. Most notably, there has been recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene showing rat sightings in 2024 and 2025, despite some baiting attempts.

The building's most recent inspection on July 18, 2025, confirmed rat activity. The property has multiple open violations as of 2024-2025, particularly affecting Unit 2R, where serious issues have been documented including approximately 70 square feet of visible mold (estimated areas on ceiling and walls), torn flooring, and problems with plaster surfaces and paint. The building has also undergone several inspections where various violations were noted, including door-related issues in Unit 1R (defective self-closing doors and locks), as well as problems with common area maintenance such as inadequate safety notices and signage.

Between January and June 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, flooring issues, and mold, leading to violations being issued and requiring remediation. While some complaints resulted in no violations being found, the frequency and nature of complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The building's management has received multiple citations related to safety notices and emergency procedures, including requirements for gas leak notices and the posting of housing information guides, though these appear to be administrative rather than directly affecting tenant living conditions.
