1203 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, 3-unit residence at 1203 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Tom Michaeli and constructed in 1910, has shown both improvements and ongoing challenges in recent years. The building has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, with all reports during this period showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units - though there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding late bedbug report filings, both of which have since been closed.

The property has experienced fluctuating rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, but earlier this year (2024) and in April 2024, the building failed rodent inspections for unspecified reasons. Looking further back, the building had significant rodent activity noted in compliance inspections in 2011, suggesting historical challenges with vermin control.

The building's overall record since 2019 shows regular maintenance of required reporting obligations, particularly regarding bedbugs, with no documented infestations. While the recent passing of the rodent inspection in 2025 is encouraging, the building's history suggests this remains an area requiring attention, particularly given the failed inspections earlier in 2024 and the building's documented rat activity in 2011. The property appears to have made progress in bedbug management, with no reported infestations in recent years, though the initial violations for late reporting in 2021 and 2022 indicate there have been some administrative compliance issues in the past.
