140 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit old law tenement building at 140 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Maria Lamanno and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Between 2018 and 2024, the building faced recurring problems with electrical systems, including multiple power outages and wiring issues, with the most recent electrical complaint filed in 2021. During 2019 alone, multiple violations were documented related to paint/plaster damage, plumbing issues, window repairs, and unsanitary conditions including mold.

The building has undergone three separate bedbug infestations between 2020 and 2024, with records showing two units infested in the most recent reporting period. Although violations for building systems like security and egress were documented and subsequently addressed, including repairs to self-closing doors and carbon monoxide detectors, the property has maintained regular compliance inspections. Recent inspections show a mixed record of maintenance. As of 2025, rodent inspections have passed, indicating improved pest control conditions, though previous years showed consistent rat activity.

The building's history shows all bedbug infestations have been successfully addressed when reported. Notable mechanical and safety improvements include the proper filing of annual bedbug reports from 2022-2024 and a 2021 electrical work permit issuance. The property experienced multiple violations in 2022 regarding window frame conditions and fire escape egress due to protruding air conditioning units, though these were subsequently corrected. While the building has a history of various maintenance issues, records indicate that most violations have been addressed and closed through appropriate repairs or inspections, with only one open violation as of the most recent data regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
