203 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 203 Wyckoff Avenue property is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1931, currently owned by Joel Lefkowitz. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints related to flooring, mold, door repairs, and safety concerns including carbon monoxide and fire escape problems. The property has faced significant infrastructure challenges, including repeated heating system complaints, electrical issues, and plumbing problems.

Inspection records from late 2023 show several violations in apartments 1R and 2R requiring repairs to ceilings, floors, doors, and electrical wiring. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent rodent activity, with recent compliance inspections in 2025 confirming rat presence, though previous inspections showed some passing results. The Department of Buildings has active violations related to low pressure inspections from 2018-2023 that remain unresolved.

Two hazardous conditions remain from 2021-2024, including a deteriorated metal cornice on the roof (with a $1,250 penalty) and a hazardous boiler condition with multiple issues ($6,250 penalty). The property has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2020, with no reported infestations in recent years. Despite the various maintenance challenges, including multiple inspections where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification, the building has generally addressed violations within required timeframes. Recent housing maintenance code violations indicate ongoing issues with building systems and safety equipment that require attention.
