598 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 598 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Jean-jacques Watson, has experienced several maintenance issues since late 2022. The building underwent multiple heat and hot water complaints, with three reported emergencies in October and November 2022, and a similar concern in January 2023, though inspections confirmed restoration of services in most cases.

The property has also faced various plumbing challenges, including sink and shower issues in August 2022 and a subsequent complaint in January 2023 regarding waste pipe obstructions in the second-floor bathroom, which remains an open violation as of October 2023. Other maintenance concerns during this period included a power outage, refrigerator problems, and pest-related issues, though most deficiencies were addressed upon inspection with no violations issued. The building's more recent history shows some continued maintenance requirements, with an open violation from January 2023 regarding a loose metal handrail at the stoop, in addition to the previously mentioned waste pipe issue.

A notable concern emerged in January 2023 when an asbestos complaint was filed, requiring an advisory to the owner for correction. The property has maintained consistent rodent control compliance, passing inspections in 2012, 2022, 2024, and most recently in April 2025, indicating effective ongoing pest management. While the building, constructed in 1899, has experienced various maintenance issues typical of its age and structure type, the response to most complaints has generally resulted in timely resolutions, with the exception of a few recurring concerns that remain open or were not fully accessible for inspection.
