457 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

457 Decatur Street is a 9-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Aaron Jungreis. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months, particularly throughout 2025, with several complaints filed regarding doors, windows, water leaks, and pest problems. Notably, there have been five separate complaints about door-related issues between April 16 and April 29, 2025, and one concerning pests.

HPD inspectors have frequently been unable to gain access to investigate these complaints, leading to their closure. The building has also faced challenges with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by a March 2025 complaint about these utilities affecting the entire building. The property has several open violations from a 2024 inspection, including issues with a broken latch at the vestibule door and various door-related problems in the first-story public hall.

While the building's bedbug reports show minimal infestation history, with only one unit affected in 2020-2021, there have been concerns about rodent activity in 2024, with inspections showing both "Passed" and "Rat Activity" results. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a complaint about building shaking or vibrating, which resulted in an Oath violation. The building has experienced recurring issues with smoking in prohibited areas, with two DOHMH complaints in 2025. Additionally, there appears to be an active DOB violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation, as of September 2024.
