91 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

At 91 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, this 57-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months. Records from 2025 show persistent pest issues, with multiple complaints about rats and unsanitary conditions, including recent complaints in April 2025 that were inspected but found not to violate housing laws. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene also documented rat sightings in February 2025. Apartment C6 has been the subject of multiple violations, particularly in late 2024, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and an infestation of cockroaches, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected between November and December 2024.

The building has experienced recurring rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 consistently showing evidence of rats. The property has a history of inspection challenges, with several 311 complaints in 2025 not being fully investigated due to access issues. Historical records show various problems needing attention, including fire safety concerns and lead paint compliance issues. While the building has undergone some corrective actions, as evidenced by closed violations and inspection improvements in late 2024, there remains an active open complaint as of June 2025 regarding unsatisfactory garbage/recycling storage conditions.

Notably, the building's management has maintained records showing no bedbug infestations since 2020. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues over the years, with some historical Department of Buildings violations relating to work without proper permits, though these were resolved. Recent inspections and compliance actions indicate ongoing efforts to address these issues, but the recurring nature of pest problems suggests persistent challenges in maintaining building conditions. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to building code violations, with many issues being addressed and certified as corrected, though recently filed complaints indicate that maintenance concerns continue to emerge.
