219 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 219 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Erez Itzhakov, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, from 2018 to 2020, the property faced multiple ECB violations related to building maintenance and safety concerns, including problems with exterior walls described as "bulging," "rotted," and "unsupportive," resulting in penalties totaling over $8,000. During this period, there were also violations regarding unpermitted work and boiler installation issues, though these violations have been resolved.

A Special Operations Compliance Inspection in July 2020 resulted in a violation related to water drainage issues, with a penalty of $312. Since 2020, the building has shown improvement in certain areas, with regular rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025 generally passing, though there was one inspection in September 2020 that noted rat activity. The property has maintained a clean record with regard to bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units.

Most recently, in April 2025, the building passed its rodent inspection, continuing the trend of compliance in this area. While the building has had its share of issues in the past, there have been no significant violations or complaints recorded in the past three years, though it should be noted that one boiler-related violation from 2018 remains listed as "ACTIVE" in the provided data. The building underwent various permitted work in 2018-2019, including electrical and plumbing improvements, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the management.
