148 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 148 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, currently owned by Rafael Urgiles, was constructed in 1931 and falls under the category of "New Law Tenement." The building's recorded complaint history over the past several years shows two notable incidents, both from 2018-2019. In June 2019, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted construction activities, though this was investigated and found to warrant no violations.

Approximately six months earlier, in November 2018, there was a complaint concerning unpermitted plumbing work, which included concerns about sprinkler and standpipe systems. This complaint was particularly concerning as it involved life safety systems, but the investigation resulted in no finding of violations, as the inspector was unable to gain access to the premises despite two final attempts.

The limited and now ancient complaint history suggests that while there have been some concerns about unpermitted work in 2018-2019, particularly regarding critical systems like plumbing and safety equipment, no violations were ultimately substantiated through inspections. Since these incidents occurred several years ago and there have been no recorded complaints or violations in the past four years (up to October 2023), this could indicate either improved maintenance practices or a lack of reported issues. However, given the age of the building and the nature of the original complaints, regular maintenance and monitoring of building systems would be prudent.
