486 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
486 Smith Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, owned by Mario Tirro and constructed in 1901 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has been under scrutiny for several years regarding pest control compliance, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, all of which remain open.
In 2025, there was a complaint filed regarding a Day Care Facility that was investigated and subsequently closed by the NYC Health Department. A significant event occurred in 2021 when the Department of Buildings (DOB) investigated a complaint of illegal commercial use, revealing that the cellar was occupied by "Fiona Hair NYC" hair salon, contrary to the building's Certificate of Occupancy which designated the space for accessory use.
This violation was officially served through the Environmental Control Board (ECB) on April 28, 2021, though records indicate no penalties were imposed. Prior to these issues, in mid-2019, the building underwent some permitted work, with plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) permits issued in May and July of that year, respectively. The property's record shows a pattern of open violations and complaints regarding proper use and maintenance compliance, particularly in relation to pest management and the use of cellar space.
