121 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
121 St Nicholas Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Philip Ferrone. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in 2020, 2022, and 2023, though inspections were either unable to confirm the problem or found it had been resolved. In addition to these recurring system issues, there have been two door-related complaints in 2022 and 2023, both of which resulted in closed cases without confirmed violations.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with six consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Recent inspections have shown mixed results for pest control, with a March 2025 inspection noting rat activity, though a subsequent May 2025 compliance check passed. The building received several violations in 2022 related to safety and maintenance requirements, including improper posting of the registration number, smoke detector requirements, and bedbug reporting information in the first-story public hall.
These violations were subsequently certified as corrected between April and May 2022. While there have been multiple complaints and violations over the years, many have been promptly addressed, and recent inspections suggest improved conditions, particularly regarding bedbugs. The most recent documented building inspection from May 2025 passed successfully, though there was a brief period of rat activity noted in March 2025.
