228 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

At 228 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, a 3-story, 2-family house built in 2011 and owned by Jon Poler, the most recent significant maintenance issues have centered around water-related problems. Between January and April 2023, there were two documented slow water leak complaints, one of which resulted in HPD inspections finding no violations, while another coincided with other issues that were cited for violations.

Significant violations were also documented in early 2023 regarding wall conditions and electrical supply, both specific to apartment 2 on the third floor, where inspectors noted problems with plaster surfaces, paint uniformity, and electrical service to fixtures in the fourth room from the east. These violations were certified for correction in March 2023.

The building has maintained an impressive record regarding rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 showing satisfactory conditions. Historical maintenance issues suggest recurring challenges with plumbing systems; in addition to the 2022 and 2023 water-related complaints, a 2019 plumbing complaint regarding water supply was documented but inspectors were unable to access the unit for inspection. While several complaints have been filed over the years, most have resulted in either no violations being found or have been satisfactorily resolved, with the exception of the 2023 violations which required additional follow-up for correction.
