480 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
480 Greene Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Benjamin Sternberger. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding carbon monoxide detector problems, gas-related issues, ventilation system concerns, unsanitary conditions including sewage and pests, and issues with walls and window frames.
In 2019, multiple heat and hot water complaints were made, with some going unresolved due to lack of access for inspections. The building has documented violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, which were only addressed in 2022-2023, and several mechanical issues including a recurring problem with an improperly installed Peerless Boiler and Beckett Burner installation from 2019 that led to Environmental Control Board violations. The most pressing current issue appears to be an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded between January and July 2025, consistently showing rat activity.
There are also active DOB violations regarding failure to file annual inspections for both 2017 and 2018 external low pressure systems. Earlier maintenance issues from 2019 included various apartment-specific violations in Unit 1 related to mold, plumbing, heating, and drainage problems, though many of these were eventually resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to the present shows no reported infestations, with all filings indicating zero infested units.
