83 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 83 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Solomon Jacobs, has had several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in February 2025, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though the problem was reportedly resolved during the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with documented rodent activity between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in March and October 2024 passed without violations.

The property faced multiple violations in 2021, particularly in Unit 1F, related to various safety concerns including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window issues affecting fire egress, and pest infestations. There were also problems with water leaks and mold in other units, particularly Unit 1C, which had water leak and mold violations issued in late 2021. The building's infrastructure and systems have also been problematic, with a 2022 violation regarding defective boiler components and heating systems, though this issue appears to have not been fully resolved based on an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $625 penalty.

Historical maintenance records show various other issues including electrical problems, doorway concerns, and sanitation matters. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free since 2020, with reports indicating zero infested units in the past five reporting periods. While some major issues have been addressed and systems appear to be maintained, the building has experienced recurring problems with heating systems, pests, and various safety equipment that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
