192 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

192 Irving Avenue is a three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Ismael Feliciano. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity, though some bait treatments were attempted in late 2023 and throughout 2024. Of particular concern are the open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2024 in Apartment 1A, which include defects in the bathroom caulk, refrigerator door gasket, waste line, visible mold condition, and the bell/buzzer/intercom system.

Earlier violations from June 2023 also remain open, indicating the need for painting and cleaning work in the apartment. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and persistent issues. In 2024, there was one door/window-related complaint that resulted in no violations.

While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five filing periods (2019-2024) - with consistent zero counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units - the ongoing rodent problems suggest a need for continued monitoring. Notably, two recent Department of Health inspections in June 2025 found rat activity, and previous inspections consistently showed similar results, indicating a long-standing pest management challenge. The property has also seen various maintenance code violations since 2023, some of which have been closed while others remain open as of October 2024, suggesting some work has been completed but not all issues have been fully resolved.
