669 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 669 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Bernard Schwimmer and constructed in 2014, has experienced several notable events over its operational history from 2019 to 2025. The most recent incident involved a sewage leak in early 2025 (January-February), which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene but did not result in any violations.

In late 2019, the building faced significant maintenance issues with violations issued for heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, as well as specific deficiencies in Apartment 2B regarding heating, hot water, and gas supply. During the same period, there were complaints about cooking gas that required HPD intervention. The building has maintained an active record of compliance in recent years, successfully passing multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing without issues.

Bedbug reports for the past five reporting periods (2020-2024) show no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, indicating effective pest management practices. However, the building received two violations in 2023 and 2021 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently closed. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues in the past, including heat, hot water, and cooking gas problems, most recent inspections and reports suggest improved overall building conditions and compliance with health and safety regulations.
