570 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-family house at 570 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ron Karo and constructed in 2008, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges since late 2020. Most recently, in December 2024, there were complaints regarding plumbing issues with the bathtub/shower and a lack of heat/hot water in the building, with inspectors unable to access units for proper evaluation.

The building has a documented history of plumbing problems, particularly between September and October 2020, when multiple complaints about water supply issues were filed, leading to several Housing Maintenance Code violations in Apartment 2A, including inadequate hot/cold water supply and various maintenance issues such as leaks, defective plaster, and insect infestation. The property has also faced issues with heat and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2020 and 2024. Safety concerns have been noted, including a broken window guard reported in August 2021, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

An inspection in 2020 regarding illegal conversion and egress issues was also unable to be completed due to access restrictions. While rodent inspections show mostly favorable results with "Passed" ratings in 2025, 2024, 2022, and 2012, there was one instance of "Rat Activity" reported in April 2023. The building's most recent bedbug report from May 2023 showed no infestations during the monitoring period from November 2021 to October 2022.
