447 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
447 Central Avenue is a three-story, two-family house located in Bushwick, built in 1920 and currently owned by 447 Central LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with multiple water-related complaints documented between 2022 and 2023, including slow leaks and damp spots that affected building systems. These water-related issues were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued.
The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results including failed inspections for other reasons in 2025 and 2022, and evidence of rat activity in 2020 and 2017, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 suggest some improvement. Historical records from 2018 show violations related to aluminum siding repair and water damage in the first-floor kitchen that were subsequently closed. More recent concerns include a food safety incident in 2023 involving spoiled food that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and a food poisoning complaint from 2021 that was deemed isolated.
The building's maintenance history shows an administrative closure of a food establishment complaint in 2023. Notably, there have been no reported instances of bedbug infestations in recent years, with regular filings showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2025. The building's boiler inspection history includes a violation from 2019 for failing to file the required annual inspection report, though this violation was dismissed in 2021. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple citations over the years, but many of these issues appear to have been addressed or closed through proper channels.
