182 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 182 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Amelia Barillas, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control issues over the past several years. The property, which dates back to 1931, shows a concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions and pest-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints regarding pests, electrical lighting, door issues, and flooring problems documented between May and June of 2021.

More troubling is the building's persistent bedbug reporting violation, with open A-class violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to submit annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3L, where B-class violations remain open for broken doors, defective plaster and paint, and damaged wood flooring in the kitchen and other areas.

Safety concerns include an open C-class violation from June 2021 regarding door self-closing mechanisms, and an unresolved B-class violation regarding a defective fire egress ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening. While recent rodent inspections from March 2025 show passed results, the building experienced significant rat activity in 2023 and 2022, with periods requiring bait application and compliance checks. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from late 2023 was closed with no violations found at the time of inspection, though this follows a pattern of intermittent maintenance and pest control challenges that have persisted throughout the building's recent history.
