AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story building at 1078 Bushwick Avenue, currently owned by Susan Giordano and classified as hereafter converted Class A, has a complex history dating back to its 1890 construction. The property has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations each year from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. More concerningly, there have been multiple violations for improper construction work, including recent active violations from 2024 regarding unauthorized work on an outdoor metal sign and the installation of a CMU block wall that exceeds residential height limits. The building has a troubling pattern of unpermitted construction and occupancy issues, with significant violations recorded in 2019 for creating unauthorized SRO rooms on the second and third floors, followed by multiple enforcement actions and penalties for failing to comply with orders related to these violations.

Recent inspections show some improvement in pest management, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there was one failure noted in 2020. The building currently has an active complaint regarding certificate of occupancy issues from 2025, though details are limited due to access denial during inspection. The property's record shows a consistent pattern of violations for unauthorized work and occupancy, with many of these issues remaining unresolved or marked as active. While some older violations have been resolved or dismissed, the building continues to face challenges with compliance to basic housing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and unauthorized modifications.
