202 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 202 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by David Khaloyan, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from February 2023 regarding a fire safety hazard, with a $6,250 penalty still due, related to a padlocked fire escape ladder that could pose serious dangers during emergencies.

The building has also faced multiple construction-related violations, including three ECB violations from June 2022 (totaling $12,250 in penalties) for unauthorized work, failure to provide a tenant protection plan, and creating excessive construction dust throughout the building during interior renovations. There are recent maintenance concerns as well, with a Bedbug Reporting violation in 2022 and multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits, including a 2024 complaint that inspectors were unable to access the premises to verify the situation.

The building has a history of rodent activity, with rat inspections showing activity in 2022, 2024, and early 2025, though it received compliance passes in March and May 2025. On a more positive note, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2020 through 2024 show consistent reporting with no confirmed infestations recorded, though a bedbug-related violation was issued in March 2022 for failure to file an annual report. The property has also had some regulatory compliance issues, including an active DOB violation from August 2023 for failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation.
