1381 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 1381 Bushwick Avenue, currently owned by Young Chang and built in 1931, has experienced several significant events over recent years. Most notably, in May 2024, the building suffered substantial fire damage, resulting in multiple active violations regarding structural integrity and safety issues including collapsed elements, charred beams, and an exposed roof.
These violations have prompted requirements for emergency demolition and site security measures. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly between 2019-2020, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including problems with garbage storage, mold, pests, and pest-related violations that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not inspect due to access issues. The property has also faced various safety-related concerns, particularly in late 2019 when multiple violations were documented in apartment 1L, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, issues with security hardware, and a problematic roof deck.
A bedbug report filed in 2023 indicated no infestation during the 2021-2022 period, and recent rodent inspections from 2023-2025 have generally passed, though there were recorded instances of rat activity in 2022. As of May 2024, there are active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to improper gas piping installations and construction work, with associated penalties totaling over $20,000. The building's recent history shows a combination of recurring maintenance issues, safety violations, and recent emergency circumstances requiring significant structural attention.
