443 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 4-story, 8-unit apartment building at 443 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1925 and currently owned by Hemda Sassouni, has experienced persistent maintenance and infrastructure issues throughout 2025. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages, with at least seven documented complaints between March and April 2025, affecting both entire buildings and individual apartments. There have also been recurring electrical problems, including complete lighting failures and heavy water leak incidents.

The building's maintenance record shows active violations as of June 2025 for electrical issues, unsanitary mold conditions, and water leaks, which were classified as emergencies. Notably, there are open Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024 concerning mouse infestation, door repairs, and various maintenance issues in the problematic Apartment 4R. The property has experienced ongoing pest management challenges, as evidenced by rodent activity reports in 2022, 2023, and 2025 inspections, with compliance inspections showing "failed for other reasons." The building's record also reveals consistent water leak problems, with multiple complaints filed in March 2025 alone.

While there was one documented bedbug incident in 2023-2024, subsequent reports indicate no active infestations. The building's Department of Buildings records show several permit issuances and violation notices between 2018 and 2023, including a current violation regarding the failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspection. Despite these persistent issues, some earlier violations have been resolved, including those related to window repairs and bathroom maintenance in Apartment 4L and other common areas.
