852 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 852 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Heshel Schvimmer and built in 1931, has experienced several recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints regarding the entire building in January 2025, November 2020, and one from 2024 that extended through February 2025, indicating a persistent problem with this essential service. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including door/window issues (November 2024), and historically has had problems with unsanitary conditions, including garbage storage and pest control matters in 2020.
Multiple violations were documented in 2020 concerning wall paint/plaster conditions, staircase maintenance, and garbage/recycling storage. A significant safety concern was noted in 2019 when window guards were found to be broken or missing. The property owner has shown responsiveness to these issues, with inspections conducted and violations addressed in many cases, though some violations from 2020 regarding stair cleaning and defective floor tiles remain open.
Recent inspections have shown improvement in certain areas, with the most recent rodent inspections from 2023 and 2024 passing, though there were documented rat activity issues in 2021. The building's bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2025 shows no reported infestations, and the property has maintained compliance with required annual bedbug reporting requirements. A minor violation regarding a vehicle parking on the sidewalk was recorded in December 2018, but this appears to have been resolved promptly. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 indicates ongoing attention to pest control and building maintenance, suggesting the property management is actively addressing maintenance issues as they arise.
