117 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
117 Irving Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Maria Galeano. The building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly regarding maintenance and sanitation. Most concerning are the recurring pigeon waste violations, documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in both 2021 and 2022, both of which required follow-up inspections due to identified violations.
The building faced significant heating system problems in January 2020, with multiple emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly according to tenant reports. The property has also generated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 noting a pattern of requiring annual bedbug report submissions. Open violations from January 2020 include requirements for carbon monoxide detector notifications, smoke detector requirements, and painting specifications for common areas.
While there were some rodent activity reports in the period leading up to 2025, including rat activity in August 2024 and early 2023, recent inspections in March 2025 passed compliance checks. The building's history also shows some positive compliance, including a successful tenant safety inspection in January 2021 and the issuance of a permit in November 2020 for unspecified work. Bedbug reporting for the most recent period (2023-2024) shows no infestations, while rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 indicate periods of both compliance and non-compliance regarding pest control.
