611 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-unit building at 611 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Jan Simko and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, particularly between 2020-2021. During this period, there were documented pest problems, including two complaints to HPD in January and December 2020, with the latter complaint being closed due to lack of access for inspection. Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in 2020, including requirements to post gas leak procedures, heating system access information, and smoke detector requirements, as well as concerns about air conditioner unit support brackets.

Two bedbug report violations were noted in 2021-2023 related to annual reporting, though all five subsequent bedbug inspections between 2021-2025 showed no evidence of infestation. The building's recent rodent inspection history shows variable results, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, while earlier inspections in 2023 indicated rat activity. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with many violations being addressed within reasonable timeframes, such as the January 2020 smoke detector notice violation which was certified as corrected in April 2020.

However, several violations from July 2020 regarding air conditioner supports, gas leak procedures, and entrance signage appear to have remained open for an extended period. Importantly, the most recent bedbug reporting period covering 2022-2023 showed zero infested units, and the April 2025 rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's most significant historical maintenance challenges occurred during 2020-2021, with subsequent inspections demonstrating better compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though some violations from 2020 appear to remain unresolved.
