262 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

262 45th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building located in Sunset Park and owned by Hyman Schattner. Built in 1910, the property has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating issues, plumbing problems, and pest infestations, though inspectors often couldn't gain access to conduct their evaluations. Notably, there was a recent smoking violation reported in May 2025 that is still under investigation and multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests documented throughout 2024 and 2025.

In late 2023, the building received violations for hot water issues, pest problems, and safety concerns including broken window guards. The building has demonstrated some pattern of maintenance issues, with documented problems in 2021 related to mold, pest infestations, and safety concerns regarding window guards. The property has faced various safety and maintenance challenges requiring attention, including heating system maintenance needs, water supply issues, and safety equipment concerns such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Noteworthy recent violations from late 2023 include problems with hot water supply, missing window guards, and defective self-closing doors in apartment 4R. The building's management has been cited for not maintaining proper notices regarding building safety procedures, although many of these violations were certified as corrected between late 2023 and early 2024. The property has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations reported since 2019, and while there were instances of rodent activity detected in 2019, there have been no documented complaints of this nature in recent years. An illegal conversion complaint from 2021 was investigated but no violations were found at that time.
