A two-unit Bushwick property sitting directly on a busy Wilson Avenue strip. The building carries six open non-hazardous administrative violations, while heavy evening sound and curb pressure dominate the surrounding blocks. Three key things to know:
Late-night music and sidewalk activity dominate the immediate surroundings. Within three blocks, residents logged 204 residential noise calls and 202 street-noise complaints over the last 12 months. The volume is heavily concentrated in loud music and parties on both the sidewalks and in nearby apartments.
Six open administrative citations remain on the ground-floor hallway wall. The building carries six open class-A violations from August 2023. All six cite missing administrative postings in the first-floor public hall, including smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, building registration, and emergency gas leak guidance.
Blocked bike lanes and parking sign violations mark the surrounding streets. Within three blocks, drivers logged 144 parking calls over the last 12 months. The count is driven primarily by 67 blocked bike lane reports and 23 sign violations, reflecting tight curb space right outside.
