16 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit residential building at 16 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Luis Navedo, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns since its construction in 2005. From 2018 to 2019, there was a notable pattern of rodent-related issues, with multiple rat sighting complaints recorded in November 2018 and May 2020, though more recent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have all passed without any rat activity.

A concerning cluster of mold complaints was reported in March 2019, and there were three separate incidents involving carbon monoxide detectors during the same period, all of which were closed without successful inspection access. The building has also faced scrutiny regarding possible illegal conversions, with two complaints filed in March 2019 and August 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations or eradications in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024.

A permit was issued on August 23, 2019, for work classified under the EW category, though specific details of the work are not provided in the available records. Most concerning from a resident safety perspective were the mold and carbon monoxide detector issues reported in 2019, though these occurred several years ago and did not result in any confirmed violations upon inspection. The building's recent rodent inspections have consistently passed, suggesting improved conditions since the earlier complaints.
