183 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 183 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by 183 Irving LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout the building, with multiple emergency complaints reported in 2022-2024, including the most recent complaint in December 2024 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

Water-related issues have also been documented, including a slow leak complaint from late 2023 that remained unresolved through September 2024. The building has faced significant rodent activity in 2024-2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application between June 2024 and July 2025. The property has several outstanding concerns, including two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019.

A comprehensive inspection in March 2022 revealed multiple issues in Apartment 1R, including problems with ceilings, windows, plumbing, and various maintenance concerns, though most of these violations were subsequently closed by March 2022. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly for heat/hot water complaints and pest-related issues, suggesting potential difficulties in addressing persistent maintenance problems. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to monthly reports since 2021, the ongoing rodent issues and repeated heating system complaints indicate continuing challenges with building systems and maintenance access.
