53 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

53 Irving Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Harry Martinez. Built in 1931, the building has experienced several significant events over the past few years, with the most notable being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in April 2020, though these issues were reportedly resolved within a day of the complaint.

The building has maintained an active record of compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025. Additionally, the Department of Buildings issued a violation in June 2023 for failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of this report.

The building has generated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with notices issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though recent filings for the period 2022-2024 show no reported infestations or required eradications. A cluster of violations was recorded in April 2020 regarding missing safety and regulatory postings in the public hall, including notices for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and building registration information; while most of these violations are listed as closed, one related to heating system access remains open. The building's bedbug report filings from 2021 to 2024 indicate zero infestation cases during those periods, and rodent inspections conducted regularly over the years have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management practices in recent times.
