190 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

This three-story, five-unit Old Law Tenement building at 190 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Haim Zarif and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including heavy flow and damp spots, as well as issues with paint/plaster on ceilings and window frames, some of which were classified as emergency situations. The building has undergone several inspection-related events throughout 2024, including multiple complaints about unauthorized work and electrical wiring issues, though most were determined to have no violations at the time of inspection.

Between 2023 and 2024, the property received multiple violations for failing to file necessary external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, though these violations were subsequently dismissed. Looking back at the building's history, there have been previous concerns regarding building maintenance and habitability. In 2021, there were documented issues with heat/hot water, pests, and mold, while 2022 saw complaints about indoor air quality and asbestos, though no violations were ultimately found.

Historical bedbug reports from 2019, 2020, 2021, and most recently in 2024 show no infestations occurred during these periods. The property has maintained a reasonably stable record regarding pest control, with all previous infestations being successfully eradicated with no re-infestations reported across multiple inspection periods. The most recent complaints from 2024-2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning water damage and structural elements, though inspections have sometimes resulted in findings of no violations.
