455 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

Located in Sunset Park, 455 42nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 455 42nd Street Owner LLC. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in January 2022, particularly affecting apartment 2R, where multiple violations were documented including water leaks in the bathroom ceiling and hallway, defective windows requiring repairs to lower sash and counterbalance systems, and peeling paint in the bathroom and hallway areas.

While inspections were conducted on January 27, 2022, resulting in B-class violations, these were officially certified as corrected by March 19, 2022. The building's maintenance history shows generally prompt resolution of reported issues, with several 311 service requests related to water leaks, window frames, and appliance problems being closed within a week of reporting, though some did result in violations. More recently, the building had one documented case of bedbugs during the 2023-2024 reporting period, though it appears to have been swiftly addressed and no re-infestation was reported.

The previous five annual bedbug reports from 2018 through 2023 showed consistently zero infestations, suggesting the recent case was an isolated incident. The property's maintenance records indicate regular attention to resident complaints, with most issues being resolved through proper inspections and necessary repairs, though some violations were initially noted before being addressed within a reasonable timeframe. The building's age and history as an Old Law Tenement are reflected in these maintenance patterns, which show typical challenges for buildings of this era.
