180 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

180 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick is a 4-story, 6-unit, Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mias Realty Corporation. The building has experienced persistent heating system challenges over the past few years, with the most recent heat and hot water complaints occurring as recently as March 2025. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has been repeatedly unable to gain access to units for inspection during multiple heat-related complaints, including five separate incidents in February 2024 alone, along with similar events in 2023 and 2022.

While HPD has occasionally documented verified heat restoration by tenants, the frequency of such complaints suggests an ongoing issue. The building has several open violations that merit attention. As of 2021, violations were noted regarding insufficient heat supply, locked fire escape access, and defective safety equipment in Apartment 3F, along with issues in Apartment 2R concerning excessively hot water temperatures.

A more recent violation, issued in April 2023, indicates failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with varying results between 2022-2025, showing periodic rat activity but passing compliance inspections. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug incidents for the past four reporting years (2020-2024), with no reported infestations or re-infestations.
