1189 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The six-story, 11-unit building at 1189 Broadway in Bushwick, owned by Montgomery Garden Partners, has experienced several significant issues in recent months. Between February and March 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding electrical problems including power outages and no lighting, flooring issues, wall conditions, and appliance problems, particularly with electric/gas ranges. These complaints often required HPD inspections, which were unable to be completed, leading to repeated requests for access.

A water leak complaint from late February 2025 also required multiple inspection attempts. The building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over the past five years (2020-2025), with consistent filings indicating no presence of the pests. The property has a documented history of violations and maintenance issues, including several concerning safety features.

In 2022, violations were recorded for various issues including encumbered public hallways, obstructed fire safety features, and accumulated refuse at the building front. Previous inspections in 2019 documented multiple issues in Apartment 1A including water leak concerns, defective plaster surfaces, and broken lock problems, as well as flooring issues in Apartment 2's bathroom. The building has experienced recurring rodent inspections showing mixed results, with the most recent finding rat activity in July 2025, though previous inspections in 2024 and earlier had passed. The property has undergone various permit processes, with several permits issued in August 2020 for work categorized under "FO" (field order) and "AL" (alteration).
