319 Eldert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 319 Eldert Street in Bushwick, owned by Aviram Chen, has experienced several notable issues impacting resident quality of life and safety over the past several years. Most recently, in early 2025, the building faced unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage that resulted in HPD violations requiring correction.

Rat activity has been a recurring concern, with a documented rat sighting in May 2024 and the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance (passed). The building has also experienced heat and hot water problems, with a significant emergency complaint regarding lack of service in December 2020, though tenants reported restoration shortly thereafter. The property has documented three consecutive years of bedbug reporting (2021-2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective management of this potential issue, and the filing for 2024-2025 indicates no current infestation.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2018, primarily affecting apartment 2R, including inadequate hot and cold water supply to various fixtures, which were certified as corrected by June 2018. The building's history shows a pattern of infrastructure and sanitation issues that, while many have been addressed, indicates ongoing monitoring of building conditions may be warranted. Recent compliance with rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestation in reporting periods are positive developments in the building's maintenance record.
