215 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
215 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mayer Brach and located in Bushwick. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2018 when there were multiple emergency complaints including water leaks (heavy flow), mold (unsanitary conditions), and plumbing problems affecting sinks/basins. These issues resulted in several violations, particularly affecting apartments 2R and 3R, including problems with bathroom ceiling mold, water leaks, and various plumbing fixtures.
The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat activity in late 2023 and other inspections passing or failing for various reasons between 2020 and 2025. However, recent years show some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2020 and consistent passing results in recent rodent inspections. The property underwent several maintenance and compliance inspections between 2018 and 2021, addressing various violations including bathroom ceiling mold, leaky faucets, and defective smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2R.
The building's bedbug reporting from 2021 to 2024 shows zero reported infestations, with all previously infested units reportedly eradicated. A recent Department of Buildings inspection in April 2025 found no violations, and the most recent permit issuance in 2021 (for emergency work) was issued and successfully processed. While some plumbing and maintenance issues were evident in 2018, the building's recent inspection history suggests improved management and resolution of maintenance issues, with particular attention to pest control and safety systems.
