370 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

370 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Mayer Brach. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints registered in January 2022 (apartment only) and January 2024 (entire building), though the most recent incident was resolved on the same day of reporting, according to tenant testimony.

A significant environmental control board violation appeared in January 2022 regarding blocked boiler room access, which resulted in a $312 penalty that was subsequently resolved. The building faced unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage in 2022, with violations issued by HPD following inspections in June 2023, though these were later certified as corrected in July 2023. The building has maintained an impressive record of rodent inspections, passing all ten inspections conducted between 2019 and early 2025.

Additionally, the property has demonstrated consistent bedbug management, with no reported infestations or need for eradication treatments in the annual filings from 2021 through 2024. A bedbug report requirement violation was issued in April 2021, but this was certified as corrected in July 2021. While there have been some maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and waste management, the building's recent inspection history shows improvements in overall maintenance, with no significant safety concerns reported in the past two years.
