1040 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1040 Bushwick Avenue is a 5-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by David Horton. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems as evidenced by numerous complaints in 2024-2025, including four emergency heat/hot water complaints within a single week in April 2025. Recent inspections also revealed maintenance concerns, with an April 2025 ceiling paint/plaster complaint resulting in an incomplete HPD inspection.
The building has an ongoing rodent control challenge, with multiple "Rat Activity" findings in inspections between 2023 and 2025, and three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 specifically related to Apartment C3 involving plaster, flooring, and rodent infestation issues. Historical records show multiple safety concerns between 2020-2021 regarding egress blockage, including violations for obstructed fire escapes and emergency exits, though these were later resolved through compliance actions. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in its annual filings from 2019 through 2025, with zero reported cases of infestation or re-infestation during this period.
Building systems maintenance issues have been documented through various complaints and violations, including a significant boiler-related violation in 2023 with multiple noted defects. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown some challenges with access for building inspections, particularly during HPD's attempts to verify complaints about heat and hot water issues. While there are several open violations as of 2024-2025, many past violations have been resolved, including several related to building safety and emergency egress concerns from 2021, suggesting some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
