467 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, six-unit building at 467 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abraham Lebowitz and built in 1899, has a documented history of persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, rodent problems, and unsanitary conditions. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was temporarily resolved, and this follows a pattern of heating issues, with similar complaints recorded in 2022 and 2023. The building has experienced recurring rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2024 (May, July, September) showing "Rat Activity," and previous violations documented in 2022 and 2024.

There have been significant sanitation concerns, particularly in April 2022, when multiple violations were issued regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest control. The property also has open class A violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though previous bedbug reporting for the period 2020-2021 indicated no infested dwelling units. Multiple plumbing issues were reported in late 2022, specifically regarding basins/sinks, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed on the recurring rodent presence and the heating system that continues to generate complaints. While some violations have been addressed, such as certain garbage and sanitation issues in 2022, the pattern of documentation suggests continued monitoring may be necessary for various systems and conditions within the building. The most recent violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements indicate an administrative compliance issue, though this is not necessarily indicative of an active infestation.
