50 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

50 Irving Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Iris Bordoy. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2021 and 2023, including three separate incidents in October 2023 alone.

More recently, in late 2023, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding window frames, flooring, and unsanitary conditions including mold, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and resulted in no violations being issued. The building has two active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2022 and 2023, issued in April 2023 and September 2024 respectively, and three open violations concerning bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, suggesting non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The property has undergone various rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, with mixed results including instances of rat activity in late 2023 and mid-2024, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 passed without issues.

Between September and November 2023, multiple rounds of bait application were conducted, indicating ongoing pest management efforts. The building has also experienced structural issues requiring attention, including a violation for a broken or defective metal cornice above the entrance door issued in October 2023. While most recent complaints have been resolved without violations, the frequency of heat and hot water issues, along with the current open violations and historical pest control challenges, suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building.
