1305 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 1305 Bushwick Avenue, built in 1899 and currently under the ownership of 1305 Bushwick LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance and pest control issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, the building passed an initial rodent inspection, following a previous inspection in October 2024 that documented rat activity.

The property's rodent history shows a mixed pattern, with inspections in 2020 and 2019 passing successfully, while a failed inspection in 2010 for "Other Reasons" and documented rat activity in July 2010 suggest past challenges with vermin control. The building has also faced multiple sanitary complaints, particularly in February 2021, when three separate complaints regarding pest-related issues and ceiling paint/plaster problems were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Unfortunately, HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in these instances.

The property has had documented issues with unsanitary animal conditions related to dogs in late 2019, though a December 2019 inspection found no violations. Encouragingly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual inspections from 2022 to 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested units. The building's maintenance record shows periodic attention to pest control, including rodent bait applications in 2010, though the overall pattern suggests ongoing management of pest-related challenges, particularly with rodents, over the years.
