188 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
188 Irving Avenue is a three-story, six-unit old law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Dalia Aviad. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024 involving electrical outlets, an electric/gas range, intercom system, plumbing (toilets), and a slow water leak - all of which were inspected by HPD but received no violations. There is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file an external low-pressure inspection for 2021, and another significant plumbing violation from late 2023 regarding drainage maintenance that carries a $3,125 penalty.
The building's history reveals recurring issues with infrastructure and maintenance requirements, including multiple bedbug reporting violations between 2019-2024 (though recent reports from 2024-2025 show no infested units), and various plumbing problems including sink and toilet issues. Two notable emergencies occurred in 2019 - a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building, and a broken intercom system that warranted violations. The property has also had several rodent activity inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though earlier inspections in 2024 showed rat activity.
The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly in the area of plumbing and general infrastructure. While recent 311 complaints have not resulted in violations, the sheer number of reported issues and the presence of active DOB violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent filings (starting from April 2024), though previous years show multiple citation patterns.
