49 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

49 Wilson Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Elsie Ortiz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding water leaks, including slow leaks and damp spots, as well as problems with heat and hot water supply.

During May 2025 alone, there were eight separate complaints related to these issues, of which several resulted in violations being issued, particularly concerning heat and water supply problems. The building also has outstanding violations related to external low pressure inspection filings from 2018 and 2019, as well as a 2017 boiler inspection report that remains active as of June 2023. Historical records from 2018-2022 show various maintenance concerns, particularly in apartment 3A, including issues with window guards, security door modifications, self-closing doors, and heating system access.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2025), the building underwent several rodent inspections and baiting treatments in 2023, indicating past rodent activity. The property has maintained relatively good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the last five reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. Recent inspections in 2025 have generally passed, except for one instance of rat activity in August 2023, which was subsequently addressed with bait applications.
