205 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 205 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. The building's heating system has been a recurring problem, with three documented emergency complaints in 2020 and 2021, though records indicate heat and hot water were restored following tenant reports.

Additional maintenance concerns have included multiple housing code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 1A, where issues with self-closing doors, floor tiles, water leaks, and plastered surfaces were documented and subsequently addressed between 2020 and 2024. The building's recent history suggests a stabilization of conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024) and successful rodent inspections conducted regularly throughout 2023-2025, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2021.

The most recent violation, issued in December 2024, pertains to the vestibule door and is classified as a B violation, with a certification date of January 2025. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to various maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations and service requests, though access issues prevented HPD inspections in one instance. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since the program's implementation, and all recent inspections have passed rodent control requirements, indicating improved pest management practices.
