1209 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1209 Bushwick Avenue is a 4-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Jay Gold. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in multiple complaints during early 2025, with the most recent incidents reported in May 2025.
The building has also faced challenges with various maintenance issues, as demonstrated by multiple HPD inspection attempts in May 2025 for problems including an unsatisfactory door, refrigerator, cabinet, and flooring conditions, as well as reports of mold. The building's unit 4K has been the subject of several specific violations as of September 2024, including issues with lighting fixtures, leaky faucets, ceiling plaster, pest infestation, carbon monoxide detector installation, floor damage, door self-closing mechanisms, and bathroom fixtures, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by late 2024.
Recent inspections indicate persistent rodent activity, with multiple findings throughout 2022-2025, and the building has documented concerns about building shaking/vibration and egress issues in 2024-2025. While there have been periodic problems with water leakage and various building systems, including a boiler inspection in 2024 where access was denied, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations in the last several years. The most recent infrastructure-related complaints in 2025 included an electrical power outage, mold concerns, and plumbing issues, all of which have been marked as closed.
