618 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement at 618 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1926, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple DOHMH complaints and inspections documenting rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents from 2023 through 2025.
The building is currently facing significant concerns regarding safety compliance, with eight open Housing Maintenance Code violations from August 2024 related to required safety postings in common areas, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures. Additionally, there are active DOB violations from 2018 through 2024 concerning failure to file external low-pressure inspections. Recent health and safety concerns include a 2025 stable ventilation issue reported to DOHMH, which resulted in an official notice to the owner.
Earlier complaints from 2024-2025 documented unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pests, though these were closed without any violations being issued following HPD inspections. Apartment 1A has been specifically cited for multiple violations in 2024, including missing smoke detector, carbon monoxide detecting device, and an active roach infestation. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing issues primarily through official notices rather than proactive remediation, as evidenced by multiple instances of rodent bait application between 2023 and 2025, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges.
