265 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

265 Wyckoff Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story brick tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Ismael Feliciano. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most notable being recent violations related to safety equipment. In June 2023, the Department of Buildings issued violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, which remain active as of July 2025.

Apartment 3A, which has been the center of numerous maintenance issues, was found to have defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in June 2023, though these violations were certified as corrected in January 2024. This apartment also had multiple violations in 2021, including mold issues, window guard problems, and peeling paint in the bathroom, though most of these violations have been closed. The building has had two documented emergency heat/hot water incidents - one in late 2022 and another in 2021 - suggesting occasional issues with basic building systems.

However, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (as per the most recent filings through 2024), and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2022, and most recently in 2025. A notable Section 8 violation was issued in 2021 regarding refrigerator issues, which appears to have been resolved. While the building has maintained basic compliance with most housing codes, the pattern of violations concentrated in Apartment 3A and the recent issues with safety equipment and low-pressure inspection filings warrant attention, though recent records show that many previous violations have been appropriately addressed.
