1425 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 1425 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Luis Penaloza and constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, most notably regarding safety requirements. The building currently has open violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2023 and 2024, though no reported bedbug infestations occurred during the last documented reporting period (2019-2020).

In 2022, multiple safety notice violations were recorded, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas. The building also had issues with self-closing doors at the main entrance and an apartment entrance, which fall under C-class violations indicating greater severity, though these were subsequently closed. Other completed violations from 2022 included requirements to post housing information notices and proper placement of the inspection certificate.

Despite these violations, a positive aspect of the building's maintenance record is its consistent passing of rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance. The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with all six inspections since 2012 passing successfully. While the property has demonstrated compliance with various housing codes through the closure of multiple violations (including those relating to safety notices), the recent open bedbug reporting violations warrant attention as the most current ongoing compliance issue.
