368 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

368 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Xue Ying Lin. The property has experienced recurring administrative challenges regarding its compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, receiving violations in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024 concerning the failure to file the mandated annual bedbug report.

Additionally, there is an open violation from July 2019 related to refuse accumulation in the building's front yard that remains unresolved. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a generally good record in terms of pest control and sanitation. A significant 311 complaint regarding pest problems was made in July 2019, which was promptly investigated and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

However, recent records from 2021 to the present show that no infested units have been reported in the annual bedbug filings, indicating that any prior pest issues may have been resolved. More notably, the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 demonstrating compliance with health and safety standards. The property's historical records show a pattern of diligence in addressing pest control matters, with nine consecutive passed rodent inspections and only one 311 complaint over the past six years, suggesting that while there are administrative compliance issues, the building's overall pest management has been relatively effective.
