50 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 50 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ben Gluck, is a 1931 Old Law Tenement structure that has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most recent concern is an unsanitary pest condition reported in December 2023, which HPD was unable to inspect and required re-reporting if still present.
In 2021, multiple maintenance issues were documented, including electrical violations related to lighting and exposed wiring, plumbing problems with water supply, door frame concerns, and an electric/gas range issue, though many inspections resulted in no access and thus unresolved conditions. The building has faced structural and safety concerns, with open violations from May 2021 noting issues with brickwork at the entrance, vinyl siding, and balcony safety features, as well as significant safety violations in apartment 2R involving inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken ceiling fixtures, and other electrical concerns. Recent rodent inspections show a mix of results, with rat activity noted in 2024, though the most recent inspections in 2025 have passed.
The building's bedbug history shows minimal activity in recent years, with records from 2019-2022 indicating some infestations and successful eradications, but reports from 2022-2024 show no new infestations. While some maintenance issues have been addressed (as evidenced by closed violations), several significant safety and maintenance concerns remain open, particularly those affecting apartment 2R. The building has undergone rodent control measures and inspections, with some success in recent months.
