171 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
171 Irving Avenue, a three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Hausrajie Payne, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past 18 months. The most pressing concern appears to be an ongoing rodent infestation, with consistent reports of rat activity and conditions attracting rodents throughout 2024 and into 2025, despite multiple bait applications and inspections.
The building has also faced serious building system violations, including failures to maintain proper heating systems, with one emergency complaint in 2024 documenting excessively scalding water (142°F), and various unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, particularly affecting the building's common areas. In terms of safety violations, Apartment 3L has been the focus of multiple issues requiring attention in early 2024, including problems with smoke detectors, self-closing doors, interior plaster and paint conditions, and water temperature control.
The building's fire safety systems have also faced scrutiny, with violations documented regarding obstructed fire escape access in 2021-2022. More recently, there are active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, which remains a compliance issue as of September 2024. While the building did not report any bedbug incidents during the 2021-2022 reporting period, the continuing pest control efforts suggest an ongoing struggle with maintaining sanitary conditions.
