1301 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

1301 Bushwick Avenue is a two-family residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Etai Vardi and constructed in 1899. The property experienced significant maintenance issues in 2020, with multiple complaints recorded between July and August of that year, including issues with pests, mold, garbage/recycling storage, and problems with flooring and wall conditions.

These complaints were notably concerning as several inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unsuccessful due to lack of access. While these earlier issues were classified as either emergency or non-emergency, the building has shown consistent improvement in recent years. The property's pest control situation has markedly improved since 2020, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025) and regular rodent inspections showing positive results.

The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 (May) and 2025 (March) both passed, with an inspection in 2022 noting rat activity being the only exception in recent years. The bedbug reporting records from 2022 to 2025 consistently show zero infested dwelling units, indicating effective pest management strategies have been implemented. While the building had multiple maintenance issues in 2020, the absence of similar complaints in the past three years, combined with regular passing inspections, suggests improved building maintenance and pest control measures have been put in place, though potential access issues for inspectors noted in 2020 remain a point of historical concern.
