825 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

825 Bushwick Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 825 Bushwick Inc. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years, with the most significant issues occurring in late 2024 and early 2025. In October 2024, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued, primarily affecting Apartment 1L, including problems with heat/hot water, self-closing doors, water fixtures, mold, and various maintenance issues.

Two notable concerns were identified during inspections: inadequate hot water throughout Apartment 1L and visible mold in the second bathroom ceiling. The building also faced rodent-related issues, with inspection results showing "Rat Activity" in March and April 2025, following a pattern of such findings in previous years. Of particular concern, the building had a heat/hot water complaint in October 2024 that required investigation despite difficulties accessing the affected apartment.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over multiple annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the eight filed reports. Recent 311 service requests include a door-related complaint in early 2025, though this was determined not to violate housing laws. The building's ongoing maintenance issues suggest periodic challenges with basic services and infrastructure, while the consistent documentation of rat activity through 2025 indicates persistent pest management challenges. However, the absence of bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods is a positive note regarding the building's overall pest management practices.
