415 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 415 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Abhas Chaudhuri, has a notable history since its 1914 construction, with particular attention required regarding recent developments. A concerning complaint about illegal conversion was filed in March 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claim during their two attempts in April 2023, and the status was subsequently closed.

The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all six annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradications, and zero re-infestations, indicating effective pest management and maintenance practices. However, there have been two periods of rat activity documented in the building's vicinity - one in June 2020 and another in September 2022 - though a subsequent compliance inspection in October 2022 reported no rodent issues.

This pattern suggests that while pest management has generally been effective, there have been some challenges in addressing rodent problems in the past, though none have been reported in recent inspections. The combination of the illegal conversion complaint, the historical rodent activity, and the building's age suggests that while the property appears to be generally well-maintained, there are some areas of concern worth monitoring.
