205 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
205 Central Avenue is a three-story, eight-unit Old Law tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Avrumi Licht. Built in 1931, the property has undergone several significant events, most notably in 2021-2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including reports of pests, mold, and garbage/recycling storage issues. These incidents resulted in violations related to rodent infestation and garbage disposal requirements, though all violations were subsequently closed.
The building experienced recurring maintenance concerns in early 2022, with multiple reports of water leaks, flooring issues, and a temporary loss of heat and hot water, though no violations were issued following inspections. Recent inspections from 2022 to 2025 show a pattern of rat activity, with passed compliance inspections in April 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building has also faced multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions and occupancy issues in 2021, particularly concerning Unit 2A, which had been improperly modified from its original duplex configuration.
These violations included failure to provide proper means of egress and a fire alarm system, though many were resolved with penalties. There are currently two active DOB violations related to failure to file annual inspection reports (2018 External Low Pressure Inspection and 2017 Boiler Inspection). The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs in recent years, with all filings from 2021 to present showing zero infested or eradicated units. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown improved compliance, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing without rat activity.
