126 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 4-unit, 3-story tenement building at 126 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by 126 Wyckoff Bh LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water availability in 2023 and 2024, though these issues were reportedly resolved shortly after complaints were filed. The building has recently faced food safety concerns, with two food poisoning complaints in late 2024 and 2025, with the most recent complaint currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has multiple active violations related to inspection compliance, including several years of unmet requirements for Low Pressure Inspection filings between 2018-2023.

A notable safety violation from August 2023 involved a missing step riser creating a tripping hazard in an entryway, though this has been resolved. The building's condition has shown mixed results in recent inspections, with rodent activity confirmed in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, though passed inspections for rodent activity were recorded in 2022 and early 2023. Past violations from 2017 in Apartment 3L included issues with wood molding, radiator shut-off valve, floor repairs, light fixtures, and painting requirements, though these were certified as resolved in 2023. The building has maintained a clean bedbug report record from 2021-2024, with no documented infestations during these periods.

Recent inspection history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heat and hot water systems, rodent control, and compliance with various building safety inspections. The property has demonstrated some improvements, with recent rodent inspections showing passing results in 2024, and the August 2023 entry door violation being addressed. However, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance requirements that are periodically addressed rather than permanently resolved. The building's documented history shows attention to compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the last three annual reports showing no infestations or required eradication efforts.
