558 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

558 Central Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1920 and currently owned by Mark Weinberger. The property has a consistent record of regulatory compliance regarding bedbug reporting, with the most recent reports from 2024 showing no active infestations or eradications in any units. However, there are several notable historical issues worth mentioning: - A significant safety concern was recorded in 2015 when an illegal locked door was discovered at the entrance to a room with a window to the fire escape in the 3rd-floor apartment (Class C violation).

- There was a unauthorized duplex conversion issue in 2015 involving Apartment #1 between the cellar and first floor. - Multiple violations related to apartment #3 on the 3rd floor were documented between 2007 and 2015, including problems with paint color, air conditioner installation affecting egress, and various maintenance issues. - Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation, though it had previously passed in April 2024 and other inspections had shown passing results since 2012.

- A concerning building stability complaint was filed in May 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The building has maintained proper bedbug reporting procedures since 2021, with all recent reports indicating zero active infestations. The property has gone through various regulatory scrutiny periods, particularly focusing on life safety systems, unauthorized modifications, and maintenance issues, though many historical violations have been resolved, as evidenced by the "Closed" status of most violations and recent compliance with inspections.
