1263 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, six-unit building at 1263 Broadway in Bushwick, owned by Jakob Worley and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past four years, particularly between 2022 and 2023. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including multiple reports of garbage/recycling storage issues, mold, and pest infestations. The building experienced water-related problems in both 2022 and 2023, with complaints ranging from heavy flow to slow leaks.

Safety concerns were also documented, including a fire escape issue in early 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued following inspections. The building has undergone more recent inspections in 2024, revealing violations related to defective doors in both the cellar and apartment 2R. However, the property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, as evidenced by five consecutive filings showing zero infested or eradicated units from 2020 to 2024.

Positive developments include recent rodent inspections, with all results showing passing marks in 2022 through 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations from July 2024 regarding self-closing doors suggest ongoing attention to building safety systems, with these violations certified as corrected in July 2024. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to many complaints, as illustrated by prompt closures of multiple HPD service requests, though there were instances in 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify certain reported conditions. The property's record shows a mix of historical maintenance challenges and recent improvements, with particular attention to monitoring and addressing pest-related issues, as evidenced by the building's passing rodent inspections and consistent bedbug reporting compliance.
