90 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 90 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Moshe Wilhelm, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water, with the most recent complaint registered in December 2024 showing HPD's inability to access apartments for inspection. The building has also faced significant rodent issues, with multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 confirming rat activity, despite some baiting efforts.

In 2020, the property underwent substantial scrutiny, resulting in several housing maintenance code violations and emergency complaints for unsanitary conditions, including mold, sewage issues, and pest infestations. The building underwent inspections that revealed multiple problems including a water leak, ceiling issues, and illegal alterations, particularly concerning a purportedly unauthorized duplex apartment modification in the cellar. This led to violations being issued for creating unauthorized rooms and improper use of stairs between floors. The Department of Buildings issued violations for work done without proper permits, and there were concerns about illegal occupancy patterns.

The property appears to have maintained a relatively stable condition in terms of bedbug infestation, with all annual reports since 2020 showing zero infested units. However, the persistent plumbing, heating, and rodent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building's violation history shows that many past issues have been addressed (most violations are marked as "Closed" or "Resolved"), the recent heating complaint and continued rodent presence indicate some ongoing concerns. The building's heating system appears to be a recurring problem, with the most recent complaint in December 2024 being classified as an emergency, though inspectors were unable to access the units for verification.
