245 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

245 46th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Sunset Park, built in 1907 and currently owned by Chaskel Landau. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, including multiple water leak complaints (both heavy and slow leaks), flooring problems, and building-wide heating and hot water challenges, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being documented. More recently, in June 2025, the building faced emergency plumbing issues, carbon monoxide and smoke detector concerns, and reported pest problems.

The building has two active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filing (2019) and boiler inspection reporting (2023). In 2022-2023, multiple violations were documented in apartment 1L, including issues with a carbon monoxide detector, plumbing fixtures, smoke detector, bathroom mold, and various maintenance concerns which were subsequently closed. The property has a history of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, with 2025 showing a particularly high frequency of complaints. In March 2025, several flooring complaints were filed, and there was a building-wide heat and hot water issue documented in January.

A building shaking/structural stability complaint was filed in June 2025, though the outcome was documented as an Oath Violation Served. Previous years show varying maintenance issues, including plumbing problems in early 2023, flooring concerns in 2022, and a plumbing/steam pipe issue in 2022. The building has consistently maintained an active bedbug prevention program, as evidenced by annual reports showing zero infested units from 2021 to 2025. While rodent inspections from 2011-2016 indicated some issues with rat activity, the most recent rodent inspection in 2016 showed a passing result, suggesting improvement in pest control measures.
