480 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-unit, three-story residential building at 480 Decatur Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joseph Sanders, has been in operation since 1899 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has experienced recurring pest management challenges, most notably with rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints between 2020 and 2021, including both rat and mouse sightings, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their investigations.
The building currently has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent citation in April 2024. The rodent inspections show a mixed pattern of results: while most inspections between 2020 and 2024 passed, the most recent inspection in July 2025 recorded rat activity.
The building has maintained regular rodent inspections, with reports showing consistent efforts to monitor and address pest control, though the presence of rat activity in the latest inspection raises concerns about ongoing maintenance challenges. A permit for work designated as "EW" (Emergency Work) was issued in December 2020, though specific details regarding the nature of this work are not provided in the available data.
