65 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 65 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Daniel Conway and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most concerning is an active complaint filed in May 2025 regarding construction work allegedly being performed contrary to approved plans, though an inspector was unable to gain access during the initial inspection on July 2, 2025.

The building has faced consistent rodent-related challenges, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, though earlier inspections in 2025 (January and February) had documented "Rat Activity." The Department of Buildings has issued violations related to construction work, including three separate ECB violations in 2018 for continuing work despite a stop work order and tampering with the order, as well as a current active violation for failing to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report from November 2019. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all recent annual filings (2021-2024) reporting zero infested or eradicated units.

The property has undergone routine inspections, with the most recent three rodent inspections (2024-2025) showing improvement, with only one instance of recorded rat activity in early 2025, down from multiple such occurrences in previous years. Two permits were issued in January 2019 for plumbing and electrical work, though the specific nature of these works is not detailed in the available data. The building has also experienced multiple food establishment-related complaints, including issues with rodent/insect presence and letter grading, both of which were addressed and administratively closed in 2024.
