461 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

This 12-unit, 3-story residential building in South Slope, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by 459-461 12th Street Housing Corp, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most concerning are the two recent indoor air quality complaints in late 2024 related to chemical vapors, though investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations in one instance, while the other was linked to a pre-existing complaint.

The building has properly documented its bedbug situations over recent years, with the most recent report for 2024-2025 showing no infested units, though records from 2022-2023 indicated eradication of all 12 units. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations were noted in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's management has maintained attention to pest control, achieving a passing result in a 2017 rodent inspection, and has regularly filed bedbug reports demonstrating proactive monitoring.

The Department of Buildings records show two unverified permit complaints in 2018-2019, one where the inspector was unable to gain access, and permits were issued in 2018 for work identified under job number 321541168. The building's most recent bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, with 2025 data indicating no current infestations. While there have been multiple air quality complaints, the building's overall maintenance record shows attention to addressing complaints and maintaining required documentation.
