440 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
This three-story, 12-unit residential building at 440 Central Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Hope Gardens LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues between 2021 and 2025. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water system problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2024, including building-wide outages in January and November. The building also faced electrical system challenges, with a no-lighting complaint investigated by HPD in December 2024.
Recent maintenance violations include a failure to maintain proper building access to heating systems (January 2024) and concerns about missing handrails in stairwells (October 2024), which resulted in a $625 penalty from the Environmental Control Board. The property has shown variable results in rodent inspections, passing most recently in April 2025, though it did fail inspections in 2019 and 2022. All six bedbug reports filed between 2022 and 2025 show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management.
The building is currently under multiple active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections as of 2024, with varying outcomes regarding violations and access for inspections. The property maintains regular permit filings for various maintenance work, with the most recent activity showing permits issued in 2021 and 2022 for plumbing and general maintenance. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, recent inspections and permits suggest ongoing efforts to address these challenges, though access for certain inspections has been noted as a recurring issue.
