565 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 5-unit residential building at 565 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, owned by David Salamon, is a 3-story old law tenement constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in December 2024 that required HPD intervention, though these services were reportedly restored during the inspection process.

The building has been under consistent monitoring for pest issues, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) noting a violation in 2021 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports; however, subsequent annual reports from 2022 through 2024 have consistently shown zero infested units. There has been a concerning pattern of rat activity recorded during compliance inspections in 2024 and 2025, though previous rodent inspections in 2022 and 2013 had passed, indicating ongoing challenges with pest control in recent years. The building's record shows attention to bedbug monitoring requirements, with the property owner demonstrating compliance through regular reporting showing no infestations.

However, the recent heating system failure in December 2024 raises questions about building infrastructure maintenance. The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements since the 2021 violation, and while there are rodent activity reports in 2024 and 2025, there's been no violation status recorded against these inspections. The building employs regular bedbug monitoring procedures, having submitted accurate reports with zero infestation counts for multiple consecutive years, demonstrating this issue has been effectively managed.
