135 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit old-law tenement at 135 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Shlomo Angel and dating back to 1905, has exhibited several noteworthy issues in recent years that may impact tenant quality of life. Most significantly, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage reported in March 2021, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days.

The building has faced recurring compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2023 covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has demonstrated an ongoing rodent control challenge, particularly evident in 2025, with multiple bait applications noted between March and June 2025, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 passed successfully.

Inspections in 2024 and 2022 had also passed, suggesting periodic but manageable pest control efforts. While these issues do not necessarily indicate immediate danger, they suggest a need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring in the building. The combination of heating system outages, bedbug reporting violations, and rodent activity (though recently addressed) indicates that while basic systems are functional, the building requires regular attention to meet modern comfort and safety expectations.
