1495 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

1495 Bushwick Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Deborah Clinkscale. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, most significantly a heavy water leak in July 2024 that was promptly addressed and closed within two days by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The property has maintained an exemplary record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug report filed in January 2024 showing zero infestation cases between November 2022 and October 2023, and similar clean records for the previous three reporting periods (2023, 2022, and 2021). While there were three housing maintenance code violations between 2021 and 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, these were effectively addressed as evidenced by subsequent filings showing no infested units. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past decade, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing compliance.

A more serious infrastructure issue dating back to 2002 involved an illegal double cylinder lock on the building's entrance, which was certified as corrected in 2009. The property's maintenance record suggests active management, with prompt responses to complaints and regular compliance with health and safety inspections, though the recent water leak incident indicates that some maintenance issues may still require attention. The building's overall safety and hygiene standards appear to be well-maintained, with particular attention paid to pest control and rodent prevention.
