48 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building at 48 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Moshe Wilhelm, has experienced several noteworthy issues since 2022, with the most recent being a plumbing water supply complaint in April 2025 that HPD was unable to investigate fully. The building has faced significant concerns regarding illegal basement conversions, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and early 2023 indicating unauthorized occupancy and construction work in the cellar level.
The Department of Buildings issued multiple violations in late 2022 regarding illegal occupancy and unpermitted work involving constructed rooms with partition walls, though records show these violations were resolved with penalties ranging from $620 to $620. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all ten inspections from 2019 through 2025 showing compliance.
Monthly bedbug reports from 2019 to 2025 reveal no infestations or related problems. While there was one smoking violation reported in 2019 that was addressed, the building's overall complaint history suggests that the most pressing issues have been related to plumbing and unauthorized basement modifications, though both these concerns appear to have stabilized based on recent inspection and reporting patterns.
