1358 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-story, 6-unit building at 1358 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Hy Management LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues and code violations in recent years. The most significant ongoing concerns pertain to Apartment 3, which has multiple open violations as of February 2024, including problems with electrical service, water supply (both hot and cold), missing safety devices (carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector), and issues with self-closing doors. The building has a history of infrastructure problems including heat and hot water outages (reported in 2024 and 2023), electrical issues (both lighting problems and power outages), and sanitary concerns, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage.

A cooling water leak complaint was filed in early 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to assess the situation. The property also has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to pest control, with regular rodent inspections passing in 2022-2025, though there were instances of rat activity noted in late 2020 and bait applications required in 2020 and 2014.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all reports from 2021 through 2025 indicating zero infested units. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed for rodent control compliance. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, the management has generally responded to complaints, though many violations remain open as of the latest inspections. The frequency of complaints and ongoing violations suggests persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly affecting the habitability of Apartment 3.
