1082 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

This three-story, six-unit building at 1082 Bushwick Avenue, built in 1921 and currently owned by 82 Bushwick Mazal 101 LLC, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has a concerning history of rodent activity, with documented rat activity in August 2022 and September 2020, though more recent inspections (2024 and 2025) have passed.

The property has faced multiple structural and safety concerns, including an illegal four-story rear extension constructed without proper permits, which was cited in a February 2021 inspection for having structural issues and improper drainage. Between 2018 and 2021, the building accumulated several Environmental Control Board violations, including failures to maintain the building properly and comply with commissioner's orders, with penalties totaling over $25,000, though these were subsequently resolved.

The Department of Buildings records show a pattern of vacancy and maintenance issues between 2018-2021, with the building being cited several times as "Vacant, Open and Unguarded." Multiple complaints were filed regarding construction violations, water drainage issues, and general maintenance failures during this period. While the building has shown improvements in recent years, with most recent rodent inspections passing and several permits issued in 2022 for exterior and plumbing work, the property still has an active Department of Buildings violation from February 2021 related to structural concerns that requires attention. The building's maintenance history indicates previous significant neglect, though recent inspections suggest some improvement in management and compliance.
