1282 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

1282 Bushwick Avenue is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Isack Katz. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently documented in January 2025, when HPD was unable to gain access to investigate the complaint of lack of heat/hot water throughout the building.

Earlier, in February 2021, multiple tenants reported simultaneous power outages and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, prompting multiple complaints and emergency response. While some of these complaints were investigated by HPD, no violations were issued for the electrical problems. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024, though all reports consistently show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management.

Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2012 and 2025 show generally good results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, though there was one failure noted in July 2018 for unspecified reasons. An HPD inspection in March 2023 resulted in a class A violation related to bedbug reporting requirements, though the violation status is listed as closed. While the building has had its share of infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, it appears to be actively managed in terms of pest control and rodent monitoring, with multiple inspections having been passed in recent years.
