305 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, two-unit tenement building at 305 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Steve Lee and dating back to 1925, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance events in recent years. Most concerning are three active violations as of June 2023 related to the failure to file annual External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2020, 2021, and 2022.

The building has undergone regular Bedbug Reporting inspections, with the most recent filing in 2025 showing no current infestations and maintaining a consistent record of zero infested units since 2019. Multiple inspections have been conducted in response to various complaints, including plumbing issues in 2023 and 2020, electrical wiring concerns in 2023, and questions about permit violations in mid-2023, though all inspections resulted in no violations being warranted at the time. The property has maintained reasonable pest control measures, with recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passing results, though there were instances of rat activity recorded between 2014-2015 that required attention.

The building's health and safety record reveals isolated incidents of food safety concerns in nearby establishments, including a 2021 food poisoning complaint and a 2023 complaint about an unlicensed food establishment, though these were not directly related to the residential units. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections generally showed compliance with sanitary requirements, and the Housing Preservation and Development department found no violations during a 2020 plumbing complaint inspection. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues requiring attention, many recent complaints have been resolved without violation findings, though the active Low-Pressure Inspection violations represent an ongoing compliance issue as of mid-2023.
