804 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 804 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Paul Naranjo, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in 2023, the building received three open violations in Apartment 3 regarding safety equipment: one for an unapproved carbon monoxide detecting device, another for a defective smoke detector, and a third related to encumbrances including household items in a public hall.

A significant maintenance pattern emerged in early 2024 with three emergency complaints filed simultaneously for plumbing issues (radiator problems), unsanitary conditions (mold), and water leaks, though these were subsequently addressed and closed by HPD. The building has maintained a relatively good track record in terms of pest control and rodent inspections, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2024) and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2012 through 2025.

Earlier violations from 2017 had been resolved, including issues related to safety notices for gas leak procedures and heating system contact information. While the building is relatively new (constructed in 2006), the pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, particularly the slow water leak reported in 2025, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in this area. Historically, there have been concerns about encumbrances in common areas, as evidenced by both the 2017 and 2023 violations regarding household items in public spaces.
