628 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

628 Wilson Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building built in 1906 and currently owned by Isack Katz. The property has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurring sewage problems and electrical issues. In 2023 alone, there have been multiple sewage-related complaints (both resolved and ongoing), an electrical lighting complaint that HPD couldn't inspect, and a concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions.

The building has also shown challenges with rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming rat presence, despite previous inspections in 2012 showing compliance. The property has a documented history of violations and maintenance issues, particularly during the summer of 2022 when multiple problems were identified in Apartment 1R, including issues with the intercom system, ventilation, window guard safety, wall conditions, and various repairs needed. Several of these violations were classified as Class B or C, indicating varying levels of seriousness.

The building has maintained compliance with the annual bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, reporting no infested or re-infested units. While some violations from 2022 were certified as corrected by 2023, the building continues to experience maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and electrical systems. The most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 show no infestations, and there have been multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent showing continued rat activity in 2025, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges at the property.
