672 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 672 46th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Charles Clennon, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most significantly, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in March 2023, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. The building is currently facing multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with inspections in February 2024 identifying issues with self-closing doors at both the 1st and 4th story public hall areas, though these violations have since been closed.

A March 2023 inspection revealed several open violations, including inadequate postings related to smoke detector requirements, heating system access, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detector requirements, along with encumbrances consisting of household items and defects in fire retardant plaster at the public hall stairs on the 3rd story. The building has been regularly filing bedbug reports since 2021, consistently reporting zero infested units, and successfully passed a rodent inspection in June 2024, indicating generally good pest management practices. While the property has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly regarding safety and code compliance notices, it has documented efforts to address violations as they are identified.

The most recent heat and hot water emergency in 2023 suggests potential infrastructure challenges, though these were resolved promptly according to available records. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement are typical of many similar properties in the area, and the regular bedbug reporting and passing rodent inspection indicate active management of common urban pest issues. This report is based on available data up to October 2023, and readers should be aware that some details may have changed since that time.
