818 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 818 46th Street in Borough Park, owned by Shi Tong Yu and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with several recurring concerns noted. Most significantly, there are four active violations (from 2021 through 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under NYC Housing Maintenance Code, though these are administrative in nature rather than directly impacting habitability.

The building has documented multiple heating and water supply issues, particularly between 2019-2021, with several complaints regarding heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Three consecutive heating complaints were made between October 2019 and May 2020, during which HPD was often unable to access units for inspection. Plumbing issues have also been reported, including a water leak in late 2020 that was addressed, and a water supply problem in early 2023.

More recent concerns include a carbon monoxide detector complaint in March 2023, though no violations were issued after inspection. Earlier issues included unsanitary conditions with pests in September 2021, and mold conditions in December 2019, all of which were addressed without violations being issued. Despite these various complaints, it's noteworthy that most recent HPD inspections (2023-2024) have not resulted in any major violations other than the bedbug report compliance issue, suggesting improved responsiveness to maintenance problems, though the bedbug reporting non-compliance has persisted for multiple years.
