472 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 472 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Suet Lee, has experienced numerous concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there are active violations as of 2024-2025 regarding blocked egress and fire escape access, with the Department of Buildings citing multiple instances of failure to provide unobstructed exit passageways and unauthorized construction work, including metal cages, rolling gates, and wooden/CMU block enclosures.
These safety concerns are compounded by recent rat activity documented in 2023-2025, with regular compliance inspections showing ongoing infestations. The building has also generated multiple Department of Health complaints regarding food establishment violations, with a pattern of rodent and insect issues reported between 2021-2024. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting compliance, with filings in 2021 and 2023 indicating no infested units during those reporting periods.
While a plumbing complaint was filed and closed in 2019 with no violations found, more pressing safety concerns have emerged in recent years. The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of failures to certify corrections for hazardous violations, particularly regarding egress issues, with active violations still pending resolution as of 2024-2025. Regular rodent baiting activities were conducted in 2023, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts, though these appear insufficient to resolve the rat activity issues documented in multiple recent compliance inspections.
