357 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 120-unit, 3-story residential building at 357 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Timothy Henkel, has experienced multiple maintenance issues between 2022 and 2025. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, including emergency complaints in January 2024 and April 2023 regarding lack of heat/hot water in the entire building.

The building also faces ongoing plumbing challenges, with a January 2025 complaint about unsanitary sewage conditions, and multiple instances of electrical issues including lighting failures. Recent concerns include open violations for rodent infestations as of August 2024, specifically involving mice and cockroaches in apartment 1M, and several active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file 2019-2023 external low-pressure inspections. Historical maintenance records reveal persistent infrastructure challenges, including a documented water leak in February 2023 affecting apartment 2G, and multiple 311 complaints about various systems including ventilation, intercoms, and general maintenance issues.

The building's systems have been the subject of several Department of Buildings investigations, with past concerns about boiler functions and structural stability noted in 2018 and 2021 respectively. Importantly, while there have been numerous bedbug inspections filed, the most recent reports from 2025 show zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The property's maintenance history indicates regular inspections and some permit activity, with various permits for electrical and plumbing work issued between 2020 and 2022, though some are still marked as "In Process" as of 2022.
