58 Palmetto Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 27-unit, 6-story building at 58 Palmetto Street in Bushwick, owned by Charles Schwartz, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions, with four separate reports of pests between January and June, including three complaints within a three-month period from January to April.

The building has also faced water-related issues, with complaints about slow leaks and damp spots in February 2025, and multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in early 2025 related to pavement, doors, and flooring. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 2F, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and water leaks, along with issues in Apartment 1B regarding ceiling repairs. The building's construction phase (2020-2021) was marked by several Environmental Control Board violations, including safety concerns about scaffolding, construction equipment, and worker supervision, with penalties totaling over $17,000, though most were resolved with no balance due.

While there have been recurring issues with pests and sanitation, recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have consistently passed, indicating some level of maintenance adherence. Notably, there were no reported bedbug infestations in the building between 2020 and 2025, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The property has had regular rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, all passing expectations, and while there have been multiple HPD complaints, many were either not able to be inspected or were found not to violate housing laws, though violations were issued for others.
