127 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 5-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 127 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Piero Darrigo and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a concerning series of heat and hot water problems documented between December 2018 and January 2019, affecting the entire building, with violations issued specifically for inadequate heat in apartment 2L. The building also faced multiple safety concerns during this period, including issues with stairs, missing signage, and problems with fire escape and sprinkler systems, resulting in various violations.

More recent history shows several complaints in 2024 regarding possible unauthorized work, though inspections found no violations. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), with no infested or re-infested units reported. However, there have been ongoing rodent activity issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 confirming rat activity, and prior inspections in 2022 also indicating similar problems.

A notable incident occurred in 2018 involving unauthorized installation of a business sign/awning that resulted in a $620 penalty, though this has since been resolved. The building's mechanical systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about the boiler, though inspections typically found no violations. While the property has required various repairs and faced multiple violations over the years, records show that most issues have been addressed, with violations generally marked as "closed" following appropriate corrections.
