152 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 152 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Edgar Pina, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple violations and complaints regarding safety and building maintenance.

In 2022, the building received several important violations related to safety requirements, including the need to post proper notices regarding gas leak procedures, heating system access, and housing information guides. There was a concerning set of violations in August 2022 related to apartment 2L, including problems with fire escape access, self-closing doors, and various safety-related issues, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. Recent records show some ongoing concerns as of 2024-2025, including an active violation (as of September 2024) related to failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and three complaints from June 2023 regarding plumbing work, electrical wiring, and work without a permit, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The building has maintained a good track record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and has successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025. The building's heating system issues, particularly one documented in January 2019, show a pattern of complaints about building-wide systems, though many of the 2019 complaints were either not verified or not found to warrant violations upon inspection. The property has generally demonstrated compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units since 2020.
