229 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-story, three-unit building at 229 45th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Freddy Gomez and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023. Most notably, in April 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding maintenance concerns, including problems with door/window frames, window frames, walls, and floors, with some violations issued. The building received significant housing maintenance code violations in April 2023, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, including issues with peeling paint, defective plaster surfaces, lead-based paint hazards, and window guard requirements.

While many violations were ultimately closed, one building violation from April 2024 remains open regarding the annual bedbug report filing. A heat/hot water complaint from January 2023 was resolved without violations. A 2022 complaint about illegal conversion resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access for verification.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradication efforts in 2022-2023 and 2019-2020 periods, with both filings showing zero infested units. The building has shown some improvement in compliance, with several violations being certified as corrected by 2023-2024, including paint-related violations and window-related issues. The property has undergone multiple inspections and complaints have generally been addressed, though some violations from April 2023 and 2024 remain open or pending certification as of the most recent records. The frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, though the absence of serious safety violations or major habitability issues indicates the building remains generally habitable under current regulations.
