88 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

88 Cornelia Street is a three-story, three-unit old-law tenement building in Bushwick, owned by Carmen Amparo and constructed in 1905. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with the most substantial cluster of complaints occurring in February-March 2019, including plumbing problems with toilets, electrical outlet/switch issues, pest infestations, and various door/window conditions.

During this period, multiple violations were documented, particularly regarding an unsanitary pest condition and problems with the floor, although HPD was unable to access many reported issues. Since then, the building has had recurring documentation of bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations.

More recent concerns include multiple rodent activity reports in 2025, with bait application records showing ongoing pest control efforts. The building has also had some persistent maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 1D, with several open violations from 2019 related to water leaks, plastered surfaces, and repair needs in the kitchen area. While some violations have been closed, including those for broken windows and various infrastructure issues, the building continues to require attention to both rodent control and maintenance matters, as evidenced by recent service requests and inspection results.
