253 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 7-unit, 5-story residential building at 253 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Martin Perl and constructed in 2017, has maintained a generally positive record since its completion, though there are some notable concerns.

The building has consistently passed all rodent inspections since 2020, demonstrating effective pest management practices. However, there is an ongoing notable issue with the building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements; since 2021, four consecutive annual inspections (most recently in April 2024) have resulted in violations for failure to file the necessary bedbug reports, with these violations currently remaining open.

The only historical structural or systems-related violation on record occurred in early 2018, when mechanical piping insulation was found to be inadequate during an energy compliance inspection, resulting in a $1,000 penalty that has since been resolved. While the bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant compliance issue in the building's recent history, it's worth noting that the property has consistently passed its rodent inspections and has not accrued any other significant housing maintenance or building code violations in the past five years.
