378 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
378 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Taihung Chiu. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years, with particular concerns regarding building modifications and safety.
Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about illegal conversions between 2020 and 2024, though inspections typically resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. In 2022-2024, there were also concerns about work being done without proper permits, though no violations were warranted upon inspection. The building has had a recurring pattern of health and safety inspections, with three notable rodent-related incidents in 2020-2024, including one in December 2020 showing rat activity, though more recent inspections (2025 and 2024) passed without incident.
The property's maintenance history shows mixed results, with a significant complaint about inadequate heat in 2020-2024 that was ultimately administratively closed, as well as issues with outdoor lighting identified in a 2019 inspection. The building's health records show limited concerning activity, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024) and a tattooing facility on the premises undergoing multiple health department inspections for cleanliness concerns. While the building has faced numerous regulatory challenges regarding its use and maintenance, recent records (2024-2025) indicate improved compliance with rodent control measures, as evidenced by passed inspections, and a consistent lack of bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods.
