105 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 105 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Alex Abre, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints occurring in February 2025, March 2023, and September 2018. These heating system problems are particularly notable, as they represent repeated difficulties with basic building systems. Additional concerns have included a ceiling paint/plaster issue (February 2025), carbon monoxide detector safety concerns (2021), and various sanitation and garbage storage violations.

While the building had instances of rodent activity in 2021 and early 2022, recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improved pest management. The property currently has multiple active violations related to the failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, which is noteworthy as it suggests potential maintenance oversight. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by their resolution of various housing maintenance code violations, including those related to bedbug reporting requirements.

However, there have been instances (specifically regarding heat and hot water complaints) where housing authorities were initially unable to gain access for inspection. The most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations during those periods, and rodent inspections conducted in 2022, 2023, and 2025 have generally passed, though there were notable instances of rat activity in 2021 and 2022. The building's history shows a pattern of basic system maintenance issues, particularly with heating and water systems, while also demonstrating improvements in pest management and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
