1284 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story Old Law Tenement at 1284 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Jay Lin and built in 1920, has experienced several notable events since late 2018 that may have impacted resident comfort and safety. In December 2018, the building faced multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, specifically mold and pest issues, leading to a Housing Maintenance Code violation for mold presence (approximately 10 square feet) in the second bathroom of the third-floor apartment.

A January 2019 inspection resulted in several violations requiring correction, including safety concerns such as a compromised fire escape door lock, improperly closing doors, and multiple missing safety notices related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. These violations were subsequently closed as of January 14, 2019. Since these issues were addressed, the building appears to have maintained a more stable condition, with no infested units reported in the past four years according to bedbug reporting requirements (most recent filings in 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units).

The property has consistently passed regular rodent inspections, with the most recent being conducted in June 2025, showing continued attention to maintaining sanitary conditions. The building has demonstrated compliance with required safety notice postings, as evidenced by the absence of violations related to missing notices in recent years, suggesting improved maintenance of common area requirements. The most recent 311 service requests and inspections have not revealed any significant new concerns, indicating that while the building experienced notable issues in late 2018-2019, these have been largely resolved through subsequent remediation efforts.
