453 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 4-story, 8-unit building at 453 48th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Shia Rothstein and constructed in 1928, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns revolving around heating and water systems. There have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in recent years, including three emergencies in 2023-2024 and two more incidents in 2025, with at least one of these cases being documented as resolved, while another remains open as of October 2024.
The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple rat sightings and inspections between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent inspections in late 2024 showing active rat presence and the application of bait during several inspections. The property has several notable violations and maintenance issues that have been addressed over time. In October 2024, violations were recorded in apartment 4L related to missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected by November 2024.
Other violations from late 2023 involved self-closing doors in the vestibule, missing safety notices, and a gas leak procedure notice, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's bedbug reports for the past three filing periods (2021-2024) indicate no infestations or treatment requirements, suggesting effective management in this area. A violation regarding the failure to file 2021 external low-pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 and currently remains active.
