73 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 73 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ralph Drapala and constructed in 1931, has faced several recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
The building has also experienced issues with its boiler certification, having received an active violation in November 2019 for not submitting the mandatory 2017 inspection report. While there was a gas utility referral complaint in 2021, it was marked as closed with an inspector unable to gain access during the inspection attempt.
On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections from 2022 through 2025, with the exception of one instance in June 2022 which indicated rat activity. This pattern suggests an overall improvement in pest control management, despite the ongoing bedbug report violations. The property has maintained its basic structural form as a three-story tenement building and continues to operate as a residential rental property in one of Brooklyn's rapidly evolving neighborhoods.
