252 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, four-unit building at 252 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Shew Ching Huang, has a concerning recent history of heating and hot water issues. From November 2023 through January 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with several incidents in December 2023 and at least two complaints in 2024 that required emergency responses. Notably, there were violations issued in January 2023 regarding hot water provision in apartment 2L, and there were also problems with heating system access at that time.
The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2019 to 2025, passing all inspections, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years, with the most recent reports confirming zero infested units between 2019-2024. The property, which was built in 1931 and is classified as a converted New Law tenement, has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years. Most violations have been promptly addressed, including the repair or replacement of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2L in early 2024, and the resolution of several infrastructure problems such as flooring repairs.
The building's most significant pattern of maintenance issues centers around the heating system, with repeated complaints about inadequate heat and hot water services, particularly during the 2023-2024 winter months. While most recent complaints were not issued violations, they do indicate persistent access issues during inspection attempts. The building's documentation shows regular maintenance being performed, with most violations being certified as corrected, though the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly during winter months.
