1359 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1359 Broadway, a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 2007 in Bushwick and currently owned by Oren Imir, has experienced a pattern of health department complaints primarily related to food establishments between 2018 and 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents involving food poisoning cases (2018, 2021, 2025) and food spoilage issues (2023-2024, and December 2023), though health authorities consistently determined many of these incidents to be isolated cases.

The building has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2020, with all inspections (most recently in April 2025) passing, indicating effective pest control measures. A concerning cluster of food-related complaints occurred in September 2018, when there were simultaneous reports of food contamination and food poisoning incidents, prompting official notifications to the owner regarding potential violations. In addition to the food-related issues, there was a plumbing complaint in April 2019 that required official written notification to the owner.

Importantly, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infestations. The most recent bedbug filings (December 2024 and December 2023) confirmed this continued absence of infestations, suggesting effective management practices in this regard. While the building has faced periodic food establishment-related health issues, the absence of bedbug infestations and consistent passing rodent inspections indicate that the building's primary challenges have been isolated to food service-related incidents rather than structural or pervasive pest problems affecting the residential units directly.
