752 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, two-family townhouse at 752 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Townhouse Rental LLC, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past few years. Most notably, there have been persistent issues with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2022-2023, including two recent incidents in November 2023 that warranted HPD inspections and resulted in violations for inadequate heat supply in December 2023.

The building has also faced serious sanitary concerns, with documented pest infestations in 2022-2023 requiring violations to be issued, and more recent rodent activity detected during inspections in 2024-2025. Water-related issues have been another recurring theme, with a heavy flow leak complaint in October 2022 and subsequent violations for water leak repairs required in July 2023. The property has shown some regulatory compliance efforts, including addressing mold issues in late 2022 and resolving multiple HPD violations by certifying corrections.

However, there are concerning patterns regarding building access during inspections, with several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification of reported problems. The building's history includes one environmental violation from 2018 regarding unauthorized cellar occupancy, though this was later resolved. Recent rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025 have shown intermittent rat activity, with the most recent inspections in April and May 2025 confirming continued pest management challenges.
