638 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 638 Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by 638 Wilson Ave LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2023, there were multiple water-related problems including both a slow leak (May 2023) and a heavy flow leak (August 2023), both of which were categorized as emergencies but could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues.

Prior to these, the building faced various maintenance challenges in 2021, including problems with flooring, door, and paint/plaster conditions, though one flooring complaint from September 2021 was inspected with no violations found. The building has also experienced pest-related complaints, with the most recent being reported in March 2023 as an unsanitary condition involving pests, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues with both water and pest problems.

Between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including sewage issues and garbage storage problems, though these prior issues were generally resolved without violations being issued. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years, with no reported infestations between 2020-2025, and recent rodent inspections showed improvement, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing successfully. While many of these complaints have been addressed and closed, the building's recent water-related issues and persistent pest complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
