42 Pilling Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-unit, 3-story Class A multi-family building at 42 Pilling Street in Bushwick, owned by Chaim Wurzberger, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history. Most recently, the building passed rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024, maintaining a clean record in this regard, and has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations across multiple annual reports from 2021 through 2024.

However, there have been notable issues related to building safety and maintenance systems. In 2018, the property faced multiple violations requiring the posting of safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas, as well as the improper access to the heating system. That same year, there were serious concerns regarding gas system installations with two violations recorded for unpermitted work and gas supply without proper inspections and certification, resulting in penalties exceeding $2,600 that have since been resolved.

The building has also undergone periodic health inspections, with a DOHMH inspection in 2020 responding to a complaint about unsanitary conditions that found no violations, and the most recent bedbug reporting showing no infestations in the 2023-2024 period, which was the final occasion requiring annual reporting under previous violations. While there have been various violations recorded over the years, most have been promptly addressed and closed, with particular attention paid to ensuring compliance with safety notification requirements. The property has maintained generally good standing in recent years, with no active violations on record as of October 2023, though the history of infractions suggests there was previously a period requiring closer monitoring of building systems and safety compliance.
