33 Lawton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 33 Lawton Street in Bushwick, owned by Walter Perez, has experienced recurring heating system issues in early 2025, with two separate complaints about lack of heat and hot water in January and February of that year. These emergencies were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with temporary resolutions noted.
The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent notification from April 2024 indicates no infested units. In 2020, the property faced serious safety compliance issues when illegal transient occupancy was investigated, resulting in four Environmental Control Board violations related to inadequate safety systems (means of egress, sprinklers, and fire alarms) for the unauthorized guest rooms in Apartments 1A and 2A, though these were ultimately resolved with no penalties.
The building's rodent inspection history shows variable results, with several "Passed" inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, but also notable instances of rat activity in late 2022 and early 2021, suggesting previous pest management challenges. While recent records indicate improved pest control (as of April 2024) and no current heating system issues (as of February 2025), the building's history shows recurring maintenance and compliance challenges that have required ongoing oversight by city agencies.
