734 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-story, two-family house at 734 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1910 and currently owned by Bienvenia Arias, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past seven years. Most recently, in April 2024, there was a power outage investigated by HPD that resulted in no violations. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent results in 2025 showing compliance, though there were documented rat activity incidents in 2021, 2022, and 2019.

A significant cluster of unsanitary conditions was reported in December 2018 through January 2019, including problems with garbage/recycling storage and pest infestations, which resulted in multiple violations. The building has experienced several infrastructure and safety concerns that have been addressed over time. In December 2018, there was an emergency heat and hot water issue that was resolved, fortunately before becoming a prolonged problem.

In July 2019, multiple violations were documented regarding building maintenance, including electrical outlet cover plates, encumbrances in public hall areas, and issues with plastered surfaces and paint in the 3rd-story scuttle closet, all of which were certified as corrected by August-October 2019. During the same period, the building met several safety requirements, including the posting of carbon monoxide detecting device requirements. The property has maintained relatively consistent rodent control compliance since 2019, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing no violations, suggesting improved pest management practices in recent years.
