178 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
178 Wilson Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, NY, built in 1931 and currently owned by Linda Vera. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with the most recent complaint in April 2025 about lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, though inspection access was not granted.
The property has a documented history of food-related health concerns, including multiple complaints in 2025 regarding food poisoning and rodent/insect issues, as well as various food establishment violations between 2022-2025, with some complaints indicating garbage and pest problems. The building has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022-2023, including multiple violations and complaints regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and lead paint hazards - particularly affecting Apartment 1A. There is also a concerning pattern of plumbing issues, especially regarding toilets, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2019.
The building's rodent control situation appears to have fluctuated, with inspections showing both rat activity and periods of passing inspections between 2023-2025, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts. While the bedbug reports from 2020 to present show zero infested units, indicating effective management of that particular issue, the building's overall violation history suggests ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges. Recent inspections as of early 2025 have shown improved compliance with some health and safety requirements, particularly following targeted interventions and bait applications.
