12 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
12 Wilson Avenue is a three-story, 5-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 in the Bushwick neighborhood, currently owned by Joseph Jemal. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints reported between 2024-2025, though some were found to be duplicates of existing complaints. Between 2023-2024, several plumbing issues were reported regarding radiators, and in September 2023, electrical wiring concerns were noted but no violations were issued.
The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including rodent infestations in 2023-2024, with multiple rodent activity reports and failed inspections indicating ongoing pest management concerns. The property has three active Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety and building maintenance from 2019-2024, with penalties totaling $18,750. These include issues with building facade maintenance, sidewalk shed conditions, and a failure to comply with a 2020 Commissioner's Order.
The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple violation patterns, including one related to the failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection results (active as of 2023) and several violations regarding inadequate sidewalk shed maintenance in 2021, though some were ultimately dismissed. More recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show improvement in building conditions, with rat activity reports decreasing and rodent inspections passing. The absence of bedbug reports in the most recent filing period (2022-2023) is also worth noting, though previous years had recorded infestations.
