472 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

This three-story, four-unit building at 472 State Street in Boerum Hill, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Danny Chow, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in heating and sanitation. In early 2024, there were two significant incidents: one involving a heat and hot water outage that was quickly resolved, and another concerning unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that underwent HPD inspection but resulted in no violations.

The building has a documented history of rodent-related concerns, with two complaints in July 2022 regarding rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though both investigations resulted in no violations. Four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were all subsequently closed. Recent inspections of rodent-related issues have generally shown compliance, with passed inspections in 2013, 2016 (twice), and 2018.

The most recent bedbug report filing from May 2025 indicates no affected units in the 2023-2024 period, continuing a trend of zero reported infestations in the previous three filings between 2022-2024. While the building has experienced intermittent issues with basic services like heat and sanitation, the property appears to have addressed violations when they occur, as evidenced by the closure of these complaints and violations through appropriate inspections and remediation. The most recent building data suggests an improvement in pest management compliance, with no active violations and consistent reporting of zero affected units since 2022.
