449 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The four-story, 8-unit residential tenement building at 449 42nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Yehya Alsahqani, has been in operation since 1914 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. A December 2023 inspection revealed multiple violations regarding self-closing doors, including defective vestibule doors at the first story and cellar door, as well as issues with entrance doors related to Apartment L3.
The building also had a window guard violation in Apartment L3, though these were certified as corrected by January 2024. Additionally, there is an active violation from June 2023 concerning failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection report.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with recent filings from January 2025 through December 2022 showing zero infested units and no instances of eradication or re-infestation. Historical records show some rodent activity, with initial rat activity noted in August 2018, though subsequent inspections in September 2018 and January 2017 passed without issues. The building's violation history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with door systems and safety features, though most recent violations have been addressed and closed, with the exception of the 2019 external low-pressure inspection filing issue.
