Questions about this building

Does 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn had 32 open violations on October 10, 2026: 31 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since May 27, 2019.

Is 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 13 open Class C, with 3 certifications filed and 5 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 20 Class C violations: 17 by the original certify-by date, 3 after it. HPD now marks 1 of them Invalid Certification. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 5 active DOB violations. The newest was issued April 29, 2026. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened October 20, 2020. 7 housing court cases here since 2020. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 4 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed April 30, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

What did the latest facade report find at 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn?

No Report Filed for inspection cycle 9. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 2 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for General Construction work, was issued December 8, 2025. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

Does 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, issued August 14, 2017. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 77 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When did 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On May 12, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

Does 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn have a property tax exemption?

The building has a 421-a tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. DOF lists its start year as 2018. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1869 as the year 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 7 floors.

How many apartments does 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 99 residential units at 618 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
