198 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

198 Wilson Avenue is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Luis Ramirez and constructed in 1931 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The building has experienced several notable events in recent years, with particular attention to bedbug reporting requirements and rodent inspections.

While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to missed bedbug report filings, these violations were closed, and subsequent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 indicate no infested units or eradication efforts were necessary. The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent compliance, with the most recent inspections in 2025 passing without incident, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in April 2023. Significantly, the building experienced a structural stability concern in March 2021, when a complaint about building shaking and vibrating was filed and resulted in violations being served.

The Department of Buildings records show multiple permit issuances throughout 2024, including electrical and plumbing work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. The building's inspection and violation history indicates generally good maintenance practices, with regular rodent inspections passing consistently, though the April 2023 rat activity and the 2021 bedbug violations suggest occasional issues requiring attention. The property's most recent bedbug reporting, filed in March 2025, continues the trend of no reported infestations, and recent rodent inspections from 2023 and 2024 have generally passed, with one notable exception requiring compliance follow-up.
