473 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 473 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Robert Matatov and constructed in 1899, has undergone numerous inspections and permit-related activities over the past several years, with particular concentration of events between 2019 and 2022. The building experienced multiple construction-related issues throughout 2020-2021, including three complaints about unauthorized construction work in late 2020 and early 2021, and two incidents of construction beyond approved plans in January 2021 - one of which resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

The building was subject to several Department of Buildings (DOB) sweeps and tracking compliance checks, though inspections generally found no violations warranting further action. Between September 2020 and August 2021, there were two significant violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations, though these were subsequently downgraded and dismissed.

A series of eight complaints regarding illegal after-hours work were filed between September and December 2020, but these complaints were not substantiated upon inspection. The property has undergone several permitted works during this period, with multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL), alternations (AL), and other work types between 2019 and 2022, indicating regular maintenance and improvements to the building. All complaints and violations have been closed, with most inspections finding no substantiated issues, though access was unable to be gained for one training compliance complaint in July 2021.
