AI summary · updated June 2026

This three-story, 12-unit residential building located at 605 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick was built in 1983 and is currently owned by Timothy Henkel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns including recurring heating and hot water problems (most recently reported in November 2023), multiple mold outbreaks (with emergency complaints filed in 2024), and persistent electrical issues affecting outlets and switches throughout the building. Apartment 2C appears to be particularly affected, with multiple open violations as of December 2024 related to mold, door repairs, and painting requirements. The building has also been cited for safety concerns, including problems with smoke detectors and exposed electrical wiring in common areas.

The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance activities as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings permits issued between 2019 and 2021, including electrical and plumbing work. Recent inspections have revealed two active violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and the building's rodent issues appear to have been resolved since multiple baiting efforts in 2010, the current maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and safety compliance. The building has received numerous Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with multiple cases of unsanitary conditions and electrical problems being reported and subsequently closed, though some violations remain open as of 2024.
