87 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 87 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Shew Ching Huang and built in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections and service requests finding rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though a March 2025 inspection finally resulted in a "Passed" status.

The building has also faced several significant plumbing and electrical problems, including emergency plumbing issues in 2024, heavy water leaks in 2021-2022, and electrical wiring concerns in 2022 that warranted HPD violations. A 2022 inspection of apartment 2LEFT revealed numerous violations that required correction, including issues with electric wiring, bathroom fixtures, and safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most recent documented rodent control efforts continuing into 2025.

While the property has maintained a zero bedbug infestation record since 2019, the concentration of rodent complaints and various other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The presence of both Class B and Class C violations in 2022 indicates varying levels of urgency regarding the needed repairs, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by mid-2022. The building's emergency plumbing, electrical, and heating/hot water issues from 2019 to 2024 highlight persistent infrastructure challenges that have required multiple interventions from city agencies.
