936 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 936 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Mario Maselli, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2022, with the most recent concerns primarily related to heating systems and pest control. In late 2023, there were multiple heat and hot water-related complaints, including one in October that resulted in violations being issued for Apartment 2 regarding inadequate hot water provision.

The property has faced consistent challenges with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between October and December 2023. Additionally, there have been recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and mold, particularly affecting the basement apartment (1F) which experienced rat activity, mold problems, and peeling paint issues in 2023. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of unresolved access issues for HPD inspections, particularly regarding mold and pest complaints, though some violations have been addressed and closed successfully.

Notably, the property underwent rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with varying results; while there were instances of rat activity in early 2023 and late 2024, the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. The building's maintenance history from mid-2022 through 2025 reveals a persistent struggle with basic infrastructure maintenance, including flooring repairs and sanitation issues, though some violations have been certified as corrected. The property's age (built in 1901) and two-family configuration have likely contributed to these ongoing maintenance challenges, which appear to be receiving attention from enforcement agencies, though access issues continue to hinder some inspections and resolutions.
