820 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
820 Classon Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yisroel Kanar. The property has experienced ongoing challenges with pest control, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple failed inspections between 2021 and 2024, though most recently passed in July 2025. The building has also faced consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirements, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
The building has undergone various construction and maintenance activities since 2020, with several related complaints and violations. Notable incidents include a 2021 Stop Work Order that was later rescinded, multiple Construction Safety Compliance actions in 2022, and various Environmental Control Board violations related to construction site safety in 2020-2022. These construction-related issues generated several penalties, including a $2,400 violation in 2022 for inadequate pedestrian protection.
Most recently, there are active concerns with Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections from May 2024 where the inspector was initially denied access. The property has been subject to regular Department of Buildings inspections, with the most recent permit activity showing three permits issued between 2023-2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement work. The building's recent history shows some improvement in terms of pest control compliance, with the latest inspection passing, though the recurring nature of violations and complaints indicates that maintenance and compliance have been ongoing challenges for the property.
