715 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn

22 open violations across 4 units, including 9 immediately hazardous Class C citations.

A 4-unit pre-war walk-up where systemic maintenance failures triggered a heavy wave of open code violations early last year. 9 of the 22 open violations are Class C immediately hazardous citations covering lost heat, missing hot water, rat infestations, self-closing doors, and boiler access. Three things to know:

Heat, hot water, and cooking gas failed concurrently across the property in early 2025. Inspectors issued Class C citations in late January and February 2025 for lack of heat, missing hot water, cooking gas shutoffs, and a locked boiler room door. Over a three-year window, residents filed 14 calls for heat and hot water outages alone.

Active infestations, defective entry doors, and active roof leaks remain uncertified. In February 2025, housing inspectors cited the building for evidence of rats, broken plaster, and leaking roofs in unit 3, along with defective self-closing hardware on both the front entrance and vestibule doors.

The property failed to file a valid registration statement. The property received an administrative violation in late 2025 for failing to file a valid annual property registration. Without active registration on file, building management is legally restricted from certifying completed violation repairs.
