128 Woodbine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

128 Woodbine Street is a three-story, six-unit old-law tenement building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Constance Hogg and constructed in 1931. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns centered around plumbing problems, specifically toilets, as evidenced by complaints in February 2025.

There have been two separate mailbox-related complaints in 2023 (October and November), which resulted in at least one housing maintenance code violation for a broken or defective mailbox in Apartment 2R, though no violations were issued for the second complaint. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing varying results; most recently, inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, while earlier inspections in 2021 showed rat activity. The property has also faced several housing maintenance violations that have required attention, including a December 2023 violation requiring light-colored paint for Apartment 1R, and previous issues from 2021 involving multiple violations for Apartment 1R related to a smoke detector, self-closing doors, and a defective radiator shut-off valve.

There was a period of bedbug infestation reported in 2021-2022 affecting all six units, though subsequent reports in 2023 showed no infested dwelling units. The building's certificate of occupancy status was questioned in a complaint filed in 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempts to verify the complaint. Additional historical records show a pattern of maintenance issues and required repairs, including problems with public hallway encumbrances and various safety equipment that have generally been resolved through follow-up inspections and repairs.
