430 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

Located in Sunset Park, 430 45th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Ngar Tom. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns emerging in March 2025 involving power outage, cooking gas, and water supply problems, all of which were investigated by HPD but did not result in violations. The building has a documented history of infrastructure challenges, particularly during 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating/hot water issues, cooking gas problems, and appliance-related concerns.

A notable cluster of rodent-related incidents occurred between 2021 and 2022, with several inspections revealing rat activity, though more recent rodent inspections in 2022 resulted in a "Passed" status. The property has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including open violations from March 2022 related to a defective self-closing door and inadequate gas supply to fixtures in the 3rd-floor apartment, as well as a mouse infestation that required attention. The building has undergone several compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17, with the most recent attempt in June 2024 being unsuccessful due to inspector access issues.

While the property has maintained its bedbug-free status in recent annual reports (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), the building has experienced periodic utility-related emergencies, particularly in 2025. Two important safety inspections in 2022 were completed with compliance noted, and multiple gas utility referrals between 2021 and 2022 resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic utilities and periodic pest control issues, though recent filings indicate some improvement in bedbug management.
