Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

This 5-story, 9-unit residential building on Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Yehuda Kohn, was constructed in 2018 and has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly during 2021-2022. The most significant problems were related to water leaks, with multiple complaints including three instances of slow leaks and two cases of heavy flow between July and September 2021, forming a pattern of water-related issues throughout the building. Apartment 1A received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in September 2021 specifically for water leaks affecting the foyer west wall and kitchen ceiling, though these were certified as resolved by October 2021.

The building has also faced electrical issues, with complaints about wiring on September 15, 2021, and lighting on July 20, 2021, both of which were inspected with no violations issued in one case and resolved in another. More recent concerns include a pest infestation reported in August 2022, which could not be inspected due to access issues. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2020, with zero reported cases in the annual filings up to 2024.

The property also faced regulatory scrutiny in 2022 regarding an illegal conversion complaint, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Initial rodent inspections in 2013-2018 showed some issues with rodent activity, but the building passed subsequent inspections, indicating improved pest control measures. Notably, multiple violations were found during a July 2021 inspection regarding building safety and maintenance requirements, including missing emergency signs and improper posting of inspection certificates, though these violations were subsequently certified as resolved by June 2023. The building's most recent violations date back to 2021, suggesting maintenance issues have stabilized, though the persistence of water-related problems in 2021 indicates this may have been a more systemic issue at the time.
