253 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 253 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Nohari Alvarez, was constructed in 1931 and has undergone several notable inspections and incidents over recent years. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all inspections from 2013 through 2018, though there were rat activity violations noted in May 2024 and a subsequent compliance inspection in June 2024 showing rat activity again.
The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning patterns regarding reporting requirements, specifically regarding bedbug reporting - with four consecutive violations from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file annual reports, though the most recent filing for the period ending October 2023 shows no infestation or eradication cases. In 2018, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development received complaints regarding ceiling and floor conditions, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues.
The building's most recent inspection history indicates some mixed results: while the property passed rodent control inspections as of March 2025, the previous year's compliance checks (April 2024 and June 2024) noted rat activity. The property has maintained some degree of compliance with other housing maintenance codes, though the pattern of bedbug report violations suggests previous management oversights in this area, now potentially resolved given the 2024 filing showing no infestations. The building's age and history of multiple violations in recent years suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the most recent rodent inspection outcome indicates some improvement in pest control management.
