241 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

241 Irving Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Deodat Lowtan. The building has had several documented maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in October 2024 regarding door and wall conditions that HPD inspectors were unable to access for inspection. A notable violation was issued in October 2023 concerning self-closing door mechanisms at the building's first-story entrance.

Throughout 2023 and 2024, there have been multiple door/window-related complaints and a heavy water leak incident, though inspections generally found no violations. The building experienced an emergency problem with the roof door/hatch in April 2024, which was subsequently addressed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2019 through 2024, with all annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Regular rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025 have resulted in passing grades, though bait applications were necessary in early 2021. A historical complaint from 2018 regarding an unauthorized wooden fence in the backyard resulted in a $250 fine, though this appears to have been resolved. The building has had three emergency door-related complaints in 2024 alone, including a significant issue with the roof door/hatch and various door/window problems, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. However, most violations have been promptly addressed, and the building has generally passed routine inspections, including recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025.
