482 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

482 Montgomery Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Yanick Content. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably concerning its structural and regulatory compliance.

In 2023, the building faced serious violations regarding unauthorized modifications in the cellar area, with the Department of Buildings issuing citations for illegal conversion and unpermitted work including the installation of a bathroom, residential sink, and gas line for a stove, resulting in a $2,500 penalty for one violation. Prior to this, there were two illegal conversion complaints filed in 2021 and 2023, with one resulting in an Oath violation being served. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, most recently in late 2018 when tenants reported a complete lack of these services, though they were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.

Between 2021 and 2023, there were three consecutive violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate no reported infestations during the past three reporting periods. The property has maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections from 2011 to 2025, and there were no housing maintenance code violations or tenant complaints regarding rodent issues. The building's infrastructure received attention in 2023 with an inspection for illegal conversions, and while these matters have been addressed to some extent, including the resolution of one of the violations, there remains one active ECB violation from May 2023 related to the illegal conversion.
