34 Ditmars Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit building at 34 Ditmars Street in Bushwick, owned by Michael Israel, has a mixed record of maintenance and inspections since 2020. Most notably, in 2023, a series of violations were documented in the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) related to various maintenance issues including a broken kitchen sink, water leaks in multiple locations, broken windows, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint.

Notably, a Class C violation regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 3 was issued and remains open, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. In addition to these issues, there were documented water leak and unsanitary condition complaints in December 2022 that required multiple inspections and resulted in violations. The building has experienced periodic bedbug incidents, with the most recent report from January 2025 indicating one infested unit that was subsequently treated.

However, since then, there have been no new infestations reported. The property has maintained consistent rodent control measures, passing all rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025, including inspections in February 2025 that confirmed compliance with health standards. While the building has generally passed these routine inspections, the documented maintenance violations and pest control issues, particularly in Apartment 3, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort, though many historical issues have been addressed through inspections and repairs.
