669 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 669 Central Avenue in Bushwick, currently owned by West Bushwick 203k Hdfc, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a recurring issue with pest infestations, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and February 2025, though some inspections found conditions not violating housing laws. Apartment 2A has been a particular focus for violations, with documented issues including a broken intercom system, mold (less than 10 sq ft), and mouse infestation between October 2024 and November 2024.

The building has also faced various maintenance issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and sink), heating/hot water complaints, and problems with window frames, though some inspections found conditions not violating housing laws. Recent safety-related concerns have emerged, with four emergency violations for missing or broken safety features (carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and smoke detectors) recorded in February 2025. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of results, with three bait applications in early 2023 and subsequent inspections showing either rat activity or passing results.

Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, with the most recent filings showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2024. While some violations have been properly addressed and closed, including repair requirements for a bathtub and kitchen cabinet in Apartment 2A, the building continues to experience ongoing maintenance issues that affect resident comfort and safety. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed, suggesting recent improvements in pest control measures.
