157 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 4-unit, 3-story tenement at 157 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Yoel Falkowitz and built in 1931, has demonstrated consistent attention to pest management and safety compliance over the past several years. The building has maintained an active rodent inspection record, with nine consecutive annual inspections from 2019 through 2025 resulting in "Passed" status each time.
Bedbug reporting compliance is noteworthy, with the building consistently reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in all four annual filings between 2021 and 2024, including the most recent report from December 2024. However, there are two significant outstanding issues requiring attention.
The Department of Buildings has issued active violations in 2023 for failure to file the required External Low Pressure Inspection reports for both 2021 and 2022, as of July 2025 these violations remain unresolved. Additionally, a more recent 311 complaint was logged in June 2022 concerning rodents/insects/garbage related to a food establishment, which was eventually closed in June 2024. While the building's overall maintenance record shows diligence in addressing pest concerns and filing requirements, these recent violations regarding pressure inspection filings represent the most significant compliance issue on record.
