450 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 17-unit tenement building at 450 49th Street in Sunset Park, built in 1905 and currently owned by 450 Realty Llc, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in January 2025, complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (mold) and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, though inspections found no violations. In July 2023, multiple complaints were investigated, revealing violations related to pest infestations and various maintenance issues including problems with doors, walls, lighting, flooring, and cabinets.

Two specific apartments (3 and 7) were subject to violations requiring repairs, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint, a bathroom bathtub, and various other interior elements, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has faced persistent rodent-related challenges, with multiple inspections and baiting efforts documented throughout 2024. The most recent inspection in October 2024 confirmed rat activity, following several months of bait application.

While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years, the ongoing rodent issues and recurring maintenance complaints suggest challenges with building upkeep and pest management. The property has had various complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pests, though many inspections have resulted in no violations being found. The building's age (120+ years) and status as a New Law Tenement are notable, and while many complaints have been resolved through inspections, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding rodents and general maintenance, may impact resident comfort.
