15 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

15 Wilson Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Paul Toobian, located in Bushwick, NYC. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over recent years, with the most notable cluster of complaints occurring between December 2022 and January 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide heat problems.

Several violations have been documented regarding building maintenance, including a current open violation from 2024 requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports, and a 2022 violation concerning locked access to the building's heating system that remains unresolved. The building's infrastructure has faced challenges with self-closing doors at building entrances, documented in 2021 violations. Recent rodent activity has been a significant concern, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 indicating rat activity, including the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing ongoing concerns.

Compliance inspections have shown some improvement, with passed results in February 2025 and 2023. The building has demonstrated periodic issues with individual unit maintenance, particularly evident in the documented violations affecting Apartment 2R during 2021-2022, including problems with hot water access that were eventually certified as corrected. The frequency of heating system-related complaints and the ongoing rodent activity suggest continued challenges with building maintenance and infrastructure systems, despite some individual violations being resolved over time.
