154 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

154 Wilson Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Stephen Ficano. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being flooring concerns reported in February 2023, which were subsequently addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

In early 2021, there was a significant incident involving unauthorized construction work in apartment 1R, which led to a stop-work order and an Environmental Control Board violation citing failure to maintain the building properly, specifically noting unsafe conditions with demolished kitchen and bathroom areas. The building has faced recurring pest management challenges, particularly with bedbugs, showing a pattern of infestations between 2022 and 2024, though with successful eradication efforts reported.

More recently, rodent control has been a major concern; while the building passed inspections in April 2025 and November 2024, there were multiple instances of rat activity noted throughout 2023-2024, including initial inspections in October 2024 and April 2024 showing problems. The property has generally maintained compliance with basic housing code requirements, as evidenced by regular inspection results, though the persistence of both bedbug and rodent issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
