57 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
57 Irving Avenue in Bushwick is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Malcom Brown. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in the fall of 2024, where multiple complaints were filed regarding mold, floor conditions, and wall issues, with HPD inspections unable to be completed.
Notably, there are currently five open Class B violations as of September 2024, affecting apartments 1A and 3R, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, defective smoke detectors, a problematic door lock to a fire escape, and floor-related issues. The building's safety systems have also been a concern, with several violations related to fire safety equipment, including an open violation from August 2024 regarding obstruction of fire escape egress by flower pots on the third-story balcony. The property has a troubling history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 reporting "Rat Activity," though the most recent inspections in 2025 showed "Passed" results.
Additionally, three active DOB violations remain on record as of June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2018 and 2019, as well as for an annual boiler inspection from 2017. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years, and has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023, except for noted activity in early 2024. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding compliance with safety regulations and building systems, while maintaining an effective pest control record.
