67 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 4-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 67 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by the Chuang Family Irrevocable Trust and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been two recent water-related incidents: a slow leak reported in January 2025 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, and a heat/hot water problem in January 2024, also with access issues during inspection.

The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water problems from late 2018, with multiple overlapping complaints indicating an entire building system failure that resulted in violations. This pattern of heating system issues appears to have continued, as evidenced by the ongoing Department of Buildings violation for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2022 and 2023. The building's safety systems have also faced scrutiny, with violations recorded in late 2018 including defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detection devices in apartment 2L, and various door-related violations.

The building's rodent control history shows a mix of passing inspections and reports of rat activity between 2022 and 2024, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges. While recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations, the property has experienced multiple inspection periods with rat activity, including most recently in August 2024. Despite these issues, there are some positive indicators, such as the most recent water leak complaint being marked as "closed" in 2025, and the building passing several rodent inspections.
