292 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

292 Wilson Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bushwick and owned by Steven Goldschmeid, built in 1999. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns in 2025 involving slow water leaks and cabinet problems that required HPD inspection, though the cabinet issue was found not to violate housing laws. In 2024 alone, multiple complaints were registered, including problems with a sink, an electric/gas range, and the presence of mold, with violations officially recorded for water leaks and ceiling issues in Unit 4R.

Historical data shows persistent water-related problems, including repeated slow leaks in various reports from 2022 through 2025, and various violations related to paint/plaster conditions in multiple units, particularly in 2024. The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, showing both compliance (passing inspections) in 2022 and 2023, with instances of rat activity recorded in September 2022 before this pattern changed. Importantly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past four reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, with no infested units reported.

The building has had several maintenance violations over the years that indicate areas requiring attention, including safety concerns such as inadequate lighting at the front entrance (2019), and several administrative violations in 2018 related to posting required safety notices about gas leaks and smoke detector requirements. More recent violations in 2024 focused on specific repairs needed in Unit 4R, including leaking issues in both the bathroom and kitchen ceilings. While the building has generally passed housing maintenance inspections, the regular occurrence of plumbing and water-related issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property owner has demonstrated compliance with addressing violations when cited, as evidenced by the "closed" status of multiple previous violations, though the pattern of recurring issues indicates challenges with preventive maintenance.
