474 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The recently constructed 5-unit building at 474 Prospect Avenue in Windsor Terrace, completed in 2024 and owned by Marc Freud, has encountered several noteworthy issues during its initial operation period. Most concerning are the three consecutive years (2022-2024) of open violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, which remains unresolved as of April 2025.

The building experienced significant construction management challenges between 2023-2024, including multiple Stop Work Orders, most notably in August 2023 when all work was ordered stopped due to contractor withdrawal. While these violations were later dismissed or rescinded, they coincided with concerns about building stability, as evidenced by a complaint of "Building Shaking/Vibrating/Struct Stability Affected" in January 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue.

In late 2024, the building received an active ECB violation for not providing required documentation during inspection, resulting in a $6,250 penalty. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, with a passing result from June 2018, and while past bedbug infestations were documented, the 2019-2020 period reported the eradication of three units, with no re-infestations recorded. The building's permit history shows regular activity, with multiple permits issued through 2025, suggesting ongoing construction or corrective work since its completion.
