270 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
This 12-unit, 3-story Class A building located at 270 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Timothy Henkel, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2025, the building was cited for rodent activity that resulted in Health Department violations requiring follow-up inspections.
The property has a documented history of door/window-related issues, with multiple complaints about doors and windows between 2022-2023, including problems with door security and window panes/frames, some of which resulted in violations. The building has also faced challenges with basic services, including a heat/hot water issue in 2022, and multiple emergency complaints regarding an electric/gas range in late 2023. Inspection records show regular monitoring for rodent activity, with passed inspections in 2022-2023 and some indicating rat activity in 2025.
The building has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs based on the required annual reporting system from 2019-2025. Violations related to safety equipment and emergency procedures have been noted in past inspections, including requirements for updating emergency contact information and gas leak procedures, though most historical violations appear to have been resolved. As of June 2023, there are active violations for failure to file proper external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021, and while there have been multiple permits issued for various works (primarily plumbing and electrical repairs) from 2020-2021, the building's recent pest control and maintenance history suggests ongoing monitoring of basic health and safety systems may be required.
