474 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 5-unit, 3-story tenement building at 474 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are three active violations dating from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2020, which remain unresolved as of July 2025.
The building had a heat and hot water emergency in March 2020 that was temporarily resolved by HPD, though it's unclear if similar issues have recurred. While there have been two instances of bedbug infestations recorded between 2018-2022 (one in 2020-2021 and one in 2025-2024), the most recent filings from 2022 to 2025 indicate no current infestations. The building's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, with only one incident of rat activity noted in March 2018, followed by passed inspections thereafter.
The property has undergone several inspections by the Department of Buildings for various complaints, including a 2021 Special Operations Compliance Inspection and a 2019 illegal curb cut complaint, neither resulting in any violations. A permit for unspecified work was issued in May 2025. While the building's recent maintenance record shows improved pest control and successful rodent inspections, the unresolved low pressure inspection violations from 2023 represent the building's most significant current compliance issue as of July 2025.
