263 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

This two-family residence at 263 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Maria Verde, has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, between January and March 2023, there were multiple water leak complaints, with at least one classified as an emergency due to heavy flow, though these were eventually addressed with no violations issued.

More concerning are the unsanitary conditions reported in March 2023, including pest infestations, which also could not be inspected upon HPD's visit, leaving questions about their resolution. The building's maintenance history reveals three water-related incidents between 2018 and 2023 (slow leak in 2018, and heavy flows in 2023), suggesting ongoing plumbing challenges. The property has experienced some safety-related issues, including a carbon monoxide detector complaint in 2018 that was inspected with no violations found.

More recently, there are two significant active violations: an open DOB violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection, and a boiler-related violation from November 2021 that resulted in an oath violation being served. While the building's bedbug report for the period between November 2022 and October 2023 shows no active infestations or eradication efforts, this relatively recent data point might offer some reassurance. The property has also experienced historical permit issues, with documented illegal plumbing work in 2019, though no violations were found upon inspection.
