142 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 142 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Tom Rosenberg, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently **six active violations** related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 remaining unresolved. Recent building concerns include a **door frame issue reported in November 2023**, which HPD could not inspect, leaving potential access and security concerns unverified.

The building has a documented history of moisture-related problems, particularly in August 2018, when multiple complaints about **water leaks, damp spots**, and **mold** were filed, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued. During the same period, there were separate complaints regarding **paint/plaster issues** involving walls and door frames, none of which resulted in violations. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with contradictory results indicating intermittent rat activity; **Rodent Activity** was recorded in both November 2022 and May 2023, followed by **Passed** inspections in subsequent months.

Notably, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbugs, with **zero reported infestations** in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. Two historical violations from 2018 are worth mentioning: one related to a **roach infestation in apartment 1L** (which was certified as resolved in 2020), and another requiring the posting of gas leak procedures in common areas (resolved in 2018). The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as an Old Law Tenement suggest it may have inherent maintenance challenges typical of pre-war buildings, though recent bedbug and rodent control efforts indicate active management of pest control issues.
