496 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 496 Van Buren Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gianluca Cavaleri, has primarily demonstrated stable conditions since 2018, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five consecutive reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, and consistently passing rodent inspections through 2025. The building's recent inspection history shows attention to security and access issues between 2018-2019, including multiple violations regarding the first-story entrance door, such as an illegal double cylinder lock (Class C violation) and requirements to make the doors self-closing (Class B violation), though these appear to have been addressed as indicated by their closure status.

The property's maintenance record has included three annual bedbug reporting violations (in 2018, 2021, and 2022), though these were likely administrative in nature as subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 show no infestations. The building's permit activity from 2018-2019 indicates normal maintenance and upgrade work, including electrical and plumbing modifications.

The most recent building inspections through July 2025 show consistent compliance with housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding pest control, with all inspections passing. The absence of open violations and successful completion of required inspections suggest improved maintenance practices in recent years, with no significant resident safety concerns currently on record.
