461 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This 43-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building located at 461 46th Street in Sunset Park has been experiencing a series of maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints and violations documented between late 2024 and early 2025. Notable recent problems include multiple open violations as of January 2025 related to flooring, walls, and the presence of pests, with inspections confirming violations that require owner remediation. The building has also experienced persistent maintenance challenges, including heating system problems reported in late 2024 and multiple plumbing issues (toilets and sinks) documented in early 2025, though these complaints were later closed after inspection.

Previous violations from 2024 revealed concerns about carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 15, along with building-wide pest issues, while Apartment 7 had various maintenance issues including mold, defective windows, and plaster/paint problems that were addressed through violation orders. The property, built in 1912 and owned by John Ilibassi, has maintained a record of generally thorough response to health and safety inspections, with all documented violations showing as closed after proper remediation. The building's history shows particular attention to regulatory compliance in recent years, with no bedbug incidents reported since 2021 and rodent inspections in 2018 and 2021 resulting in passing grades.

Two energy benchmarking violations were recorded in 2019, one of which was marked as active. The property has regularly filed bedbug reports showing minimal infestation activity, and the recent pest violations from 2025 are the first such complaints in several years of consistent reporting. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention, the documentation shows a pattern of addressing these problems through the appropriate regulatory channels.
