73 Wilson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 21-story, 372-unit residential building at 73 Wilson Street in Williamsburg, owned by Elizabeth Moronta and completed in 1964, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, recent complaints in 2025 have included unsanitary conditions with mold (June 2025), rodent sightings (May 2025), and electrical lighting violations (April 2025). The building has also faced multiple maintenance challenges throughout 2025, including issues with ceilings and walls requiring plaster repairs, concerns about smoke detectors, and plumbing problems with basins and sinks.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in Apartment 1A, which has multiple open violations including plumbing issues and a reported roach infestation. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about multiple devices and service issues between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent complaint in May 2025. There were also several violations related to exterior wall inspections and construction work in 2021, including issues with tenant protection plans and excessive construction debris in public areas.

While the building has maintained a bug-free record in recent bedbug reports between 2021 and 2025, there have been persistent challenges with light fixtures, wall and ceiling maintenance, and plumbing systems. Recent inspections in spring 2025 noted rodent activity, and emergency plumbing and mold issues were reported in June 2025. Numerous permits were issued between 2018 and 2022 for various maintenance and construction work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building maintenance needs.
