1114 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1114 Bushwick Avenue is a three-story, seven-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Mordechai Appelbaum. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed in February 2022, though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to units for verification. These complaints resulted in several violations, particularly affecting Apartment 3, which required corrections to inadequate hot water supplies and other maintenance issues, including door closures.

The building has also faced water-related problems, with slow and heavy leaks reported in 2021, leading to at least one violation. The property has a history of various violations and maintenance issues requiring attention, including the need for proper smoke detector notices, gas leak procedures, and window guard installations, with the most recent significant violations being addressed in 2022. Earlier issues involved repairs to plastered surfaces, entrance security concerns, and general maintenance requirements, particularly noted during 2011-2012.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing improvement over recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug issues in the past five filing periods (2019-2024), indicating effective pest management. The property appears to have maintained basic compliance with housing codes in recent years, with the most recent Housing Maintenance Code complaints showing no active violations as of 2023.
