306 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

This three-story, five-unit old law tenement building at 306 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, managed by Evergreen Ave Realty LLC, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past two years. The most pressing issues emerged in mid-2023, when multiple water-related problems were documented between July and August 2023, including several instances of heavy water leaks that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations. These water-related issues affected both the building's interior and common areas, including the first-story public hall and stairwell.

Additional problems during this period included ceiling paint/plaster issues, mold concerns, and indoor air quality problems, with reports of chemical vapors/gases/odors in August 2023. The building received several violations in July 2023 regarding fire retardant material repairs and water leak source remediation, though these were certified as corrected between August and October 2023. More recently, in 2024 and 2025, the building has faced ongoing concerns with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait between 2023 and 2025.

While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in annual filings, the persistent rodent issues and historical water-related problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple housing violations, though most have been addressed and closed, including violations related to paint conditions, fire safety repairs, and water leak remediation. A complaint regarding vent/exhaust issues from August 2023 was inspected in September 2023 and found to warrant no violation at the time.
