237 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit building at 237 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Esther Laboy, has experienced several significant maintenance issues between 2019 and 2025. Most notably, there was an electrical power outage in June 2021, one of several concerning incidents in recent years.

Multiple violations were documented following a June 2021 inspection, including open violations for gas leak procedures, front door self-closing mechanisms, mailbox inspection certificates, building registration information, and safety notice postings for carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements. While the building's bedbug report for 2022-2023 shows no infested units, previous annual reporting requirements in 2021-2022 were noted as violations. The property has demonstrated fluctuating rodent activity, with multiple inspections revealing either "Passed" results or "Rat Activity" findings between 2021 and 2023, though more recent inspections in 2024-2025 have all passed.

The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including mold problems, plumbing concerns relating to bathtub/showers, and mailbox problems, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations being issued. The most recent bedbug report (2024) indicates no current infestations, and the most recent rodent inspections (2025) show improved conditions with "Passed" results. Notably, there are currently no open violations on record as of July 2025, suggesting that the building management has addressed many previously identified issues.
