484 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

484 3rd Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Bhawan 484 Realty LLC. The property has faced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023-2024. The building experienced multiple paint and flooring-related violations, particularly in December 2023 and March 2024, including issues with ceilings, walls, and floors that resulted in both emergency and non-emergency complaints.

These violations were primarily concentrated in Apartment 4R, where there were documented problems with vinyl floor tiles, plastered surfaces, and door repairs. The building also faced regulatory scrutiny in 2024, receiving violations for not filing the annual bedbug report and having encumbrances (bicycles) in public hallways on the 4th story. The property has a documented history of unpermitted work between late 2021 and 2022, with multiple complaints about construction activities in occupied units, particularly affecting Apartment 1L and basement areas.

These violations resulted in financial penalties, including a $2,500 fine for work without a permit and a $10,000 penalty for failing to file a required tenant protection plan during construction. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested units in each reporting period. The recent bedbug report filing requirements have been met, as evidenced by the April 2024 submission indicating no infestations or eradications during the previous period. While the building's maintenance issues have resulted in multiple violations and complaints, the management has generally addressed these problems through inspections and repairs, with many violations being closed following appropriate remedial actions.
