310 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 12-unit, 3-story residential building at 310 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Timothy Henkel and constructed in 1983, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning are four active violations issued in June 2023 related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021, which remain unresolved as of April 2025. The building has documented multiple maintenance complaints from September 2022 through July 2023, including issues with water leaks (both heavy and slow), ventilation systems, lighting, and door problems - all of which were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (most recent reports show zero infested units as of 2025), the building has faced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing "Rat Activity" ranging from "Bait applied" to "Passed" results. Two building violations from 2021 regarding bedbug reporting requirements and a certificate of inspection posting were recorded, though all violations have since been closed. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with the most recent 311 service request from August 2023 relating to a food establishment issue which was closed.

Numerous permits have been issued between 2020 and 2021 for various work types, including plumbing and electrical repairs, suggesting ongoing maintenance activity at the property. The housing maintenance code violations and complaints indicate a pattern of accessibility issues for inspections during 2022-2023, as multiple complaints across different categories were closed without inspection due to this reason. While the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed passing results, the frequency of rodent-related inspections and reports of activity in 2024 raised concerns about pest control effectiveness during that period.
