175 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 175 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Anthony Dirusso, has experienced several notable events and maintenance issues since 2020. Most recently, in 2023, there were violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019-2022, though these violations were subsequently dismissed in September 2023.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug inspections, with reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and no re-infested units. Rodent inspections have generally shown good results, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there was one "Rat Activity" report in June 2022. In 2021, multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented, primarily relating to safety equipment and notices, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, gas leak notice requirements, and various posting requirements for safety regulations and housing information.

These violations were all addressed and certified as corrected by August 2021. The building has also been subject to two access-denied complaints in recent years: regarding illegal hotel rooms in April 2025 and excessive debris in November 2019, both of which required second final attempts for inspection. Despite these issues, the property has demonstrated compliance with most recent health and safety requirements, particularly in terms of bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, with all inspections showing either compliance or no significant findings in recent years.
