118 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
118 Central Avenue, a three-story, six-unit building in Bushwick owned by Eddie Valentin, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2020. Most concerning is a current rodent problem, with a July 2023 complaint leading to Health Department violations and recent inspections showing both rat activity and passing results, though a July 2025 inspection finally marked a significant improvement with a "Passed" result. The building has had recurring issues with water systems, including a building-wide heat/hot water emergency in October 2022 and multiple plumbing complaints in 2021 (bathtubs/showers, sinks) that were closed without inspections due to access issues.
There were also problems with paint/plaster on walls in 2021 that went uninspected for the same reason. The building's maintenance record shows efforts to address various problems, with some plumbing issues (bathtubs/showers and doors/windows) being investigated and cleared in 2020 without violations. Importantly, there are multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with annual bedbug report filings.
In 2019, there was a boiler inspection violation that was dismissed. While the building has passed several rodent inspections since 2022, the pattern of rodent-related complaints and the timeline of various maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance, particularly regarding timely inspections and access for housing authorities. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 shows some improvement, representing the first "Passed" result for this issue since 2023.
