450 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

450 Prospect Avenue in Windsor Terrace is a two-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Shaun Hong. The building has a consistent record of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements as stipulated by HPD rules.

More recently, in 2024, there was an active Department of Buildings (DOB) complaint regarding water retention and drainage issues, though access to the property was denied during the first inspection attempt in October 2024. The building's pest management history shows a rat activity report from June 2018, though subsequent inspections in July 2018 resulted in a passing compliance status. A permit for exterior work (job number 340697071) was issued in November 2019, which appears to have been completed given the standard protocol for such permits.

The most pressing concern for current and prospective tenants is the pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years, as these violations remain open and unaddressed, according to the most recent available data through October 2023. Additionally, the unresolved drainage issues reported in 2024, for which inspection access was denied, warrant attention. While there was a demonstrated improvement in pest control with the passing inspection in 2018 following the initial rat activity report, the building's recent history shows a lack of attention to mandatory pest reporting requirements.
