849 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
849 48th Street in Borough Park is a 2-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Susy Gao. The property has demonstrated a recurring pattern of compliance issues over recent years, most notably regarding ventilation systems and fire escape safety.
In early 2022, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received complaints about both ventilation system problems and fire escape safety concerns, but was unable to gain access for inspection despite the complaints being classified with various urgency levels (from emergency to non-emergency). Subsequent inspections in 2023 and 2024 revealed violations related to Annual Bedbug Report filing requirements under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, though these violations appear to have been resolved as the most recent filing in May 2024 showed no infested units for the period between November 2022 and October 2023.
Of particular note is a complaint to the Department of Buildings regarding an illegal conversion in 2019, which was recorded as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt" during inspection attempts. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 indicates successful management of bedbug issues, with no infested units reported in the most recent two-year filing periods (2022-2023 and 2019-2020), though there were multiple violations in previous years regarding the filing requirements, suggesting some lapses in compliance which have since been addressed. The building's history shows particular attention to ventilation system and fire safety concerns, though access issues have hindered resolution verification, while bedbug management practices appear to have improved, with no current infestation issues reported.
