1240 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1240 Bushwick Avenue is a two-family residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Hamlet Rodriguez and constructed in 1915. The property has experienced several significant maintenance incidents over the past three years, most notably in September 2020 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding no lighting and cooking gas issues.

While both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Housing Maintenance Code inspections occurred in response to these complaints, no violations were found in either case. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent conducted in April 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status.

However, there was a concerning rodent activity report in April 2024, marking a deviation from the building's generally good standing in this area, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showed compliance. Between 2011 and 2025, the property has maintained a relatively stable inspection record, with only one other notable instance of rat activity in April 2024, followed by two consecutive "Passed" inspections in June 2024 and April 2025. While the building experienced temporary utility issues in 2020, these were resolved promptly with no violations recorded, and the property has generally demonstrated compliance with health and safety standards in subsequent inspections.
