1187 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1187 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Christine Cutchin and constructed in 1899, has experienced persistent challenges with both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent activity over the past several years. Most notably, since 2021, the building has received four consecutive Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

While the building did submit a bedbug report for the 2017-2018 period showing no infestation, the consistent violations since create concerns about compliance with housing maintenance requirements. The building's rodent situation has shown some volatility in 2024-2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 confirming bait application after previous inspections in April and May 2025 identified rat activity.

This marked a reversal from a healthier condition in 2024, when an April inspection passed without issues. The property had maintained a better record prior to this period, having passed initial rodent inspections in 2012 and 2022. The ongoing rodent control efforts, as evidenced by the recent application of bait, suggest management is actively addressing the pest issue, though the repeated violations indicate this remains an ongoing challenge.
