Augrented Insights Report for 541 Central Avenue

The three-story, three-unit building at 541 Central Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Shawn Bolding, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning is an active Department of Buildings violation from February 2025 regarding excessive water damage and debris in the rear yard, as well as compromised egress on the third floor, following a fire at the adjacent property at 1155 Halsey Street.

The building has also faced recurring unsanitary conditions, with a recent mold complaint in September 2023 that, while inspected by HPD, resulted in no violations being issued. Of particular note is the building's history of bedbug reporting violations, with multiple citations between 2019 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under § HMC.

While the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showed no infested units, there was a period of rat activity in August 2022, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 showed passed results. An open violation from 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway has not been resolved as of the latest records.
