295 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 295 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Jacob Sacks and built in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are two open violations from March 2022 in apartment 2L regarding inadequate gas supply to the kitchen range and defective lighting in the foyer, both classified as "B" violations. The building also has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 concerning the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection.

Recent tenant complaints have focused on ventilation system issues (July 2023) and garbage/recycling storage conditions (August 2023), though no violations were found in the latter case. Between March 2022 complaints were investigated, these included inspections for various issues including mold, pest infestations, appliance problems, plumbing concerns, and electrical systems, with violations specifically noted for lighting and power outage issues. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, with particular attention needed on the open violations from 2022.

On a positive note, the property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings since 2019. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity noted in July 2024 but a passing compliance check in March 2025. Multiple permits were issued in 2019-2020 for various work types, including plumbing and electrical, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to building systems. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting and appears to have maintained compliance with this requirement.
