1354 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-story, four-unit old-law tenement building at 1354 Bushwick Avenue, built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing concern appears to be the building's historical rodent problems, particularly in 2018 when multiple rat sightings were reported between July and October, leading to inspections that discovered rat activity and required bait application in late 2017 and early 2018.

While recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed without rodent issues, the building has shown recurring administrative challenges, particularly in bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, though records indicate no actual bedbug infestations during these reporting periods. The building had more serious infrastructure concerns in early 2018, specifically regarding inadequate hot water supply to fixtures in the second-floor apartment, which were classified as Class C violations but were subsequently certified as corrected.

Additional building management challenges are evident from two Department of Buildings complaints in 2019 regarding excessive debris and a permit issue, though these were either found to be unwarranted or resulted from inspection access issues. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to compliance with health and safety codes has been necessary, with recent successful rodent inspection results indicating some improvement in pest management practices.
