153 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

153 Wilson Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Ben Soleimani. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent heat and hot water complaint reported in December 2024, though this was resolved promptly.

The property has undergone several significant inspections and issued violations, particularly in 2022 when multiple B and A class violations were documented regarding safety and maintenance issues in common areas, including improper storage of household items, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detector notices, and defective self-closing doors. There were also findings regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions during this period. The building's maintenance history shows challenges with compliance reporting, particularly regarding annual boiler and external low-pressure inspections, though these violations were eventually dismissed in January 2024.

Recent issues include a 2024 violation for scaffold safety concerns, and multiple rodent inspections showing intermittent rat activity between 2024 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The property has maintained a consistent record of no verified bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods (2020-2024). While the building exhibits some maintenance challenges, particularly around heating and common area upkeep, it has generally addressed violations when identified, as evidenced by the certification of most violations as resolved.
