478 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 478 Sackett Street in Gowanus, owned by 478 -480 Sackett St LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly relating to heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in March 2023, there were multiple complaints about water supply issues and heating problems, with two plumbing-related emergencies and one heat/hot water complaint specifically for an apartment unit; however, inspections showed no violations and the problems were reportedly resolved.

This pattern of heat and hot water issues has recurred since late 2021, with similar complaints documented in December 2021 through January 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple bedbug report violations between 2021 and 2024, though no current infestations are reported in the most recent 2025 filing period, which indicates zero infested units.

Additionally, three violations from January 2022 remain open, concerning the posting of carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guide availability in common areas. While the building's management has generally responded to complaints and resolved immediate issues, the recurring nature of heating system problems suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge. As of 2025, the bedbug situation appears to be under control with no reported current infestations or eradication issues.
