262 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 262 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Jianle Huang and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant rodent issues in recent years. Between 2025 and 2023, five rodent-related complaints were recorded, with the most recent inspections in June and May 2025 confirming rat activity.

The building has also faced persistent challenges with its food establishment, particularly regarding rodent and pest issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2022 and 2024. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five reporting periods (2021-2024), with no infested units reported in any of the annual Bedbug Reports. The building's history includes violations related to unauthorized electrical work in 2018, specifically concerning HVAC equipment installation without proper permits, which resulted in a $1,600 penalty.

Two complaints regarding work without proper permits were filed in July 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including the need to file annual bedbug reports as noted in violations from 2021 and 2022, it appears to have addressed those requirements, with recent inspections showing no current violations. The property's inspection history generally shows passing results for various health and safety checks, with the most pressing ongoing concern being the recurring rodent issues.
