Small Bushwick walk-up with open water and pest issues inside, sitting on an active surrounding block.
A six-unit Bushwick walk-up built in 1931 where the building's own record carries fresh active complaints and compliance gaps, surrounded by busy block activity. Three things to know:
Fresh September 2026 water and pest calls sit alongside missed bedbug filings. On September 8, 2026, simultaneous calls came in for a heavy-flow water leak and unsanitary pest conditions inside the building. Both items remain open. Additionally, three open Class A non-hazardous violations exist for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports in 2024, 2025, and May 2026.
Nearby food establishment calls point to potential commercial venting or pest exposure. Within three blocks of the building, six commercial food establishment complaints were logged in the last 12 months, running through June 19, 2026. Nearby restaurant kitchen exhaust and food prep can drive odor, heat, or pest migration through shared shafts into residential units.
Heavy curb blockages and party noise cluster within three blocks. Within three blocks over the past year, municipal channels logged 335 blocked driveway calls (mostly total driveway blockages) and 309 residential noise complaints dominated by loud music and parties. Outdoor street friction is high around this location.
