47 Moffat Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 47 Moffat Street in Bushwick, built in 1901 and currently owned by Xia Liang, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced recurring plumbing problems, with emergency water supply issues reported in both July 2020 and November 2024, and sink/basin plumbing problems in September 2023.

The property has also had multiple pest-related complaints, with emergency reports of unsanitary conditions due to pests in July 2022 and September 2023, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these complaints. A heat and hot water emergency complaint from November 2021 was verified and corrected according to HPD records.

The building's more recent history includes some concerning patterns: in September 2023, multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding unsanitary conditions and plumbing issues, though HPD could not access the premises for inspection. As of April 2025, there is an active complaint with the Department of Buildings regarding illegal work/no permit/change in occupancy use, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification on their first attempt in June 2025. While there has been a bedbug report filed for the period between November 2022 and October 2023, it shows no instances of infestation or re-infestation, suggesting effective management of that particular issue.
