271 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
This three-story, three-unit residential building located at 271 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ermelinda Nieves, was constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several concerning incidents in recent months (March-April 2025), including multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (pests) and electrical issues (no lighting), as well as an emergency heat/hot water problem that was reportedly resolved before inspection. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted to inspect the latter two issues, the inspections could not be completed, necessitating new service requests for proper evaluation.
The building's history shows recurring issues with pest control compliance, as evidenced by three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2023) related to annual bedbug reporting requirements. However, recent bedbug reports (2023-2025) show no infested units or related issues. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with mixed results; while most recent inspections (2024-2025) passed, there were instances of rat activity noted in October 2024 and April 2021.
An illegal conversion complaint was filed in March 2025 and resulted in an Oath Violation served in June 2025. Earlier issues included an illegal plumbing work complaint in 2019, which was found to lack warrant for violation at inspection. The building's maintenance history shows attention to in-unit conditions, with recent complaints being addressed through HPD interventions, though many of these required follow-up action due to incomplete inspections.
