495 Wyona Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 495 Wyona Street in East New York, owned by Ariel Shalom, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2007. Most notably, in November 2019, there were multiple serious complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, including emergency violations related to inadequate heating systems and hot water supply.

The building has also had recurring issues with gas supply to kitchen ranges in both the second floor and third floor apartments during the same period. Following these incidents, between March 2019 and November 2019, there were several other complaints about various building conditions including problems with flooring, walls, electrical outlets, and mold, though inspectors often reported being unable to gain access to conduct inspections for many of these issues. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with the most recent reports for the periods ending October 2024 and October 2023 showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.

The building has had four consecutive years of reporting no bedbug infestations between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent report from July 2025 confirming no current or past infestations. In recent years, the building's only known violations have been related to the bedbug reporting requirements, with these violations being marked as "closed" following proper compliance. The absence of significant new complaints or violations since 2019 suggests improved maintenance conditions, although the historical record indicates there were periods of notable systemic infrastructure issues during 2019 that impacted resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding heating and water systems.
