1473 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 1473 Bushwick Avenue property is a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Yocheved Perlstein. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with three separate complaints filed in 2024 and 2023, two of which affected the entire building, and one specifically for an individual apartment.

There have also been significant plumbing concerns, including a heavy water leak reported in December 2023. The property has faced multiple pest control challenges, with rodent activity documented through inspections in 2025, 2023, and 2019, though recent bedbug reports indicate no infestations from 2019 through 2025. Of particular concern are the six active violations related to the building's low-pressure boiler system, spanning from 2018 to 2023, including a notably high penalty of $3,125 issued in September 2024 for failure to file required annual inspection reports.

The building has undergone several inspections and generated multiple service requests in recent years, including emergency responses to unsanitary conditions in 2019 involving mold, and various interior and exterior maintenance issues. While some violations have been resolved, such as those involving encumbered hallways and door repairs in early 2023, the persistent nature of heat/hot water issues and the recent boiler compliance problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has consistently filed accurate bedbug reports showing no infestation cases, though it previously had notable sanitation issues requiring attention.
