472 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement at 472 Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Harry Steinberg, has several significant and concerning violations on record as of July 2025. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of unfiled mandatory annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024, as documented by Housing Maintenance Code violations.
These open violations, while administrative in nature, suggest potential lapses in proper pest management protocols. Additionally, the building has multiple active violations with the Department of Buildings related to required safety inspections.
There is a particularly alarming pattern of non-compliance regarding external low pressure inspections, with six consecutive years (2018 through 2023) showing unfiled inspection reports, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. Furthermore, there is an active violation from November 2019 for failing to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, indicating potentially long-standing neglect of critical safety requirements. The combination of these unaddressed safety and maintenance issues suggests a concerning pattern of oversight regarding building maintenance standards and regulatory compliance.
