639 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 639 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ramon Bencosme, has been subject to several concerning violations over the past few years. Most notably, there are seven active Department of Buildings violations from 2018-2024 related to the failure to file mandatory external low pressure inspections, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.
The building has also consistently received Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2024 for not filing annual bedbug reports, though these violations are marked as closed. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results: while the building passed inspections in 2024 and April 2025, there were two instances of rat activity noted in September 2022 and June 2012, with the most recent activity having occurred over three years ago. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing compliance issues with required inspections and reports, particularly regarding low pressure systems and bedbug documentation.
However, the most recent rodent inspection results indicate improved conditions, with the building passing these inspections in 2024 and 2025. It's worth noting that the building's age (constructed in 1907) is typical for the Bushwick neighborhood, and it has maintained its original three-story structure. While the presence of both bedbug report violations and low pressure inspection failures points to some lapses in management oversight, the pattern of closed violations suggests responsiveness to certain regulatory requirements.
