1559 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 1559 Broadway in Bushwick, owned by Michael Williams and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring administrative challenges despite maintaining generally good conditions. Most notably, there have been consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, though all filings have shown no documented infestations, eradications, or re-infestations during the reporting periods.
The building currently faces an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding an unfiled 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture of pest management in the building.
While a compliance inspection in July 2025 passed and earlier inspections in 2024 also showed satisfactory results, there have been isolated instances of rat activity, most recently noted in June 2025. The building underwent one complaint investigation in January 2021 regarding illegal after-hours work, but no violations were found upon inspection. It's noteworthy that despite the regularity of the bedbug reporting violations, the actual pest status in the building has consistently been reported as non-existent during the January 2019 to October 2023 reporting periods, and all other rodent inspections generally show compliance, indicating effective pest management practices when inspections are conducted.
