AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 109 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2019 and 2023. The most recent incidents occurred in January 2023, when HPD violations were issued for heat-related problems. The building underwent a comprehensive safety inspection in March 2023, revealing several issues in apartment 2A, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as problems with self-closing doors. Notably, all bedbug reports since 2020 have indicated zero infestation or eradication cases, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 show passing results, though there was briefly noted rat activity in March 2025.

The building's history shows persistent heat and hot water system challenges, with ten documented complaints since 2019, including two instances where inspection access was not granted. Other violations have included ventilation system issues in 2020 and a locked boiler door access problem identified in 2019. While the building's basic safety systems have generally been maintained, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of most violations, the recurring nature of the heat system complaints suggests this remains a significant maintenance area. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infestations, and has passed multiple rodent inspections over the past several years, indicating effective pest management practices in recent times.
