649 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 649 47th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Enoch Chan, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most significantly, in October 2022, the building faced simultaneous emergencies involving lack of heat and hot water, lighting problems, and window pane issues, though inspections did not result in any violations.

A cluster of violations was documented in October 2022 related to Apartment 2R, including issues with pests (specifically mice and roaches), and problems with safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's most recent inspection activity shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past five filing periods from 2019 through 2025. In 2024 and 2023, annual bedbug reports were filed showing zero infested units.

The property has maintained a generally acceptable record regarding violations, with the last major set of issues being resolved by late 2022. These included multiple safety and maintenance improvements such as fire escape adjustments and proper notification posting procedures, all of which have been addressed according to violation closure records. The building, constructed in 1930, has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues as they arise, though the concentration of complaints in October 2022 suggests there was a period of significant maintenance activity required during that time.
