155 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 155 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, currently owned by 155 Evergreen Associates, LLC, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems throughout the building, with emergency complaints filed in both January and December 2025, and August and June 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access to investigate these conditions.

Water-related issues have also been significant, with multiple emergency complaints about heavy water leaks in June 2024, and an unsanitary sewage condition complaint that same month. The building has been under regular rodent inspection, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 and January 2025 showing rat activity, though there have been periods of passing inspections in between. In terms of building maintenance compliance, there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2023 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though recent filings show zero infestations.

Two Environmental Control Board violations were issued in August 2022 related to unpermitted work during construction, though these were resolved without penalties. The building's recent history also includes multiple requests for HPD inspections that could not be completed due to access issues, suggesting potential challenges in addressing building-wide problems when they arise. While the building's bedbug situation appears to be under control with consistent reporting showing no infestations, the recurring issues with heat/hot water and water systems, combined with rat activity, represent ongoing challenges for residents.
