459 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 8-unit residential building at 459 42nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Ignacio Suarez, is a 4-story Old Law Tenement built in 1914. The property has experienced recurring heating issues in recent months, with four separate heat/hot water complaints between November 2024 and January 2025, including three citing problems with the entire building's system.
While some of these complaints were resolved when inspectors arrived, others could not be properly investigated due to access issues. The building has also faced various maintenance and safety challenges, most notably during September 2024 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with fire escape access (with household items obstructing egress), missing or defective door hardware at the vestibule, and issues with garbage/recycling storage.
The building's current violations, established in September 2024, include requirements to address problems with fire escapes on multiple floors, repair defective masonry at the front entrance, remove accumulated refuse in the rear yard, and address various safety signage requirements. While some issues from this inspection have been certified as corrected, several remain open, indicating ongoing maintenance needs.
