559 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 559 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Simon Ghatan, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2025, three emergency complaints were filed regarding stairs, garbage storage, and door issues, though HPD inspectors were unable to access the premises for inspection. The building had significant violations in 2022 related to fire safety, including defective fire egress in apartments 1L, 2L, 3L, and 3R, along with various other safety concerns.

A heat/hot water complaint for the entire building in March 2022 and multiple paint/plaster violations were also recorded. In September 2022, specific violations were issued for apartment 3R regarding an uncapped radiator pipe, while a June 2023 DOB violation remains active concerning an external low-pressure inspection filing failure. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status across multiple annual filings from 2020 to 2025, with no reported infestations or required eradications.

Rodent inspections show a mixture of results, with the most recent March 2025 inspection passing, following previous rat activity in 2024. The building has experienced various plumbing, electrical, and sanitation issues over the years, including no lighting (2022), plumbing problems (2022), and pest control concerns (2021). While many violations have been addressed and closed, the building's history shows recurring patterns of maintenance issues, particularly relating to safety systems and basic services. The most recent building inspection data indicates active focus on maintaining compliance with building codes, though with some areas requiring continued attention.
