846 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

846 Bushwick Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Tom Rosenberg. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past two years, particularly in the latter half of 2024 and into 2025.

Between March and April 2025 alone, multiple complaints were logged and investigated by HPD, including issues with paint/plaster on ceilings, radiator problems, and mold concerns, though none of these inspections revealed violations of housing laws. A notable cluster of complaints in October 2024 included serious issues such as heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, plumbing problems in multiple units, and violations related to flooring/stairs, which resulted in formal violations being issued. The building has demonstrated recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly pest infestations, as evidenced by multiple rodent activity inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, with the most recent inspections in 2025 also confirming rodent activity.

There are several open violation notices from October 2024 affecting Apartment 1R, including problems with mold (both visible and source-related), leaky faucets, broken tiles, and evidence of cockroach infestations, though some violations from previous inspections (such as mice infestation in November 2024) have been resolved. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, the building has maintained an apparently pest-free status in its bedbug reporting history for the past several years, with no documented infestations between 2019 and 2024. The most recent service requests and violations suggest persistent challenges with building maintenance and sanitation, particularly regarding plumbing systems and pest control, though many recent complaints have been closed without resulting in formal violations.
