203 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 203 Wilson Avenue, owned by Sauman Chau and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events in recent years. Most notably, there was an active ECB violation issued in October 2022 regarding unauthorized construction work, where inspectors observed unauthorized modifications to a first-floor apartment, including a staircase to the cellar and new partitions, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

In March 2023, a complaint about building shaking/vibrating/structural stability was filed, though inspectors were unable to access the property for investigation. The building has had recurring safety concerns, particularly regarding fire escape accessibility, with complaints filed in 2022 that were investigated but resulted in no violations.

While rodent-related issues have been documented, with a 2019 complaint leading to an inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, recent inspections in 2025 show compliance, with the latest report passing. The building's bedbug reporting shows no infestations or eradications reported in the past three years, and annual inspections have consistently shown no bedbug activity since 2022. The property has maintained a generally positive record for rodent inspections, passing all but one inspection between 2021 and 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2024.
