465 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 465 42nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Yim Ngai and constructed in 1914, has experienced various maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2025. Between April and May 2025, multiple HPD complaints were filed and investigated, resulting in violations related to plumbing (toilet and sink), door issues, and unsanitary conditions. Some inspections in April 2025 regarding ventilation and refrigerator issues could not be completed due to access problems.
The building has a history of plumbing-related challenges, as evidenced by additional service requests in 2025. The property has undergone several inspections and violations related to pest control, including documented infestations in apartment 4RB (roaches and mice) in March 2024, which were certified for correction in April 2024. A notable finding from a September 2023 inspection revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with the flushing apparatus in apartment 2LB, broken fire-retardant plaster in the fourth-story public hall, and various building code compliance matters.
The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2023-2024 regarding potential illegal conversions, resulting in violation findings related to occupancy contrary to CO records. While there have been periodic pest issues in the past, recent filings from 2021-2024 indicate no active bedbug infestations, and rodent inspections from 2014 revealed mixed results. An Environmental Control Board violation from December 2024 resulted in a fine of $1,250 for building code maintenance issues, though this has since been resolved.
