497 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 497 16th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by Teena Caccamo and constructed in 1901, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly throughout 2024 and into 2025. The property has repeatedly faced issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple complaints between July and August 2024, though inspections often could not be completed due to access issues. Emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water for the entire building were filed in July-August 2024, and there were plumbing issues related to water supply.
Notably, there are currently two open bedbug violation notices from 2023 and 2024 regarding annual reporting requirements. While there have been recent rodent-related complaints in 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted inspections in April and June 2025 that passed, though a March 2025 inspection could not be completed due to access issues. The building underwent significant individual unit maintenance in 2023, particularly in Apartment 1B, with multiple violations noted and subsequently addressed, including issues with electrical wiring, kitchen fixtures, wall surfaces, and plumbing.
The unit's violations included problems with wall surfaces requiring painting, bathroom door adjustments, kitchen water leak repairs, and visible mold conditions. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access-related inspection failures, particularly concerning pest-related complaints, suggesting potential challenges in completing necessary inspections and addressing reported issues. Regular rodent inspections conducted in 2025 have passed, indicating some improvement in pest management, while the most recent complaints in March 2025 regarding rodent-attracting conditions were investigated and resulted in closed complaints.
