91 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

91 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Wilberto Alvarez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in early 2024 when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple complaints regarding pests, wall conditions, and plumbing issues. Unfortunately, HPD was unable to gain access to the building to inspect these reported conditions, and the cases were subsequently closed.

The building has a concerning history of bedbug violations, with three consecutive years (2021-2023) receiving violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations. However, recent bedbug filings in 2024-2025 show zero infested units during the reporting periods, suggesting improved management of this issue. The building's pest control and sanitation history shows some fluctuation in conditions.

While recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures, there were documented instances of rat activity in 2021 and 2022 inspections. The building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements since demonstrating improvements following the 2022 rat activity violations. All housing maintenance code violations from 2022-2023 have been closed, though it should be noted that the inability of HPD to inspect and verify conditions in early 2024 limits the definitive assessment of these reported issues. The building's documented history shows a pattern of pest-related concerns, though recent records indicate successful management of bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past two reporting periods.
