737 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 737 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Judy Gottlieb and constructed in 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with the most concerning being a recent fire escape safety complaint in April 2023 that required correction, and a mold violation in October 2021 affecting approximately 15 square feet in Apartment 1 that was addressed under Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building has had multiple emergency complaints between 2019-2023, including instances of heat/hot water issues and cooking gas concerns in January 2019, though some inspections were limited by lack of access to apartments.

A cluster of violations was recorded in January 2019 relating to safety signage requirements, including smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and other emergency notices, though these were subsequently certified as corrected by May 2019. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record since 2020, showing no infestations or related issues across the past five reporting periods (2019-2024).

Recent inspections have demonstrated consistent rodent control success, with all inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing, though a complaint noted rat activity in October 2019. A notable incident occurred in January 2019 involving a gas utility referral, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has generally adhered to reporting requirements, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showing no affected units for the 2023-2024 period.
