450 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

450 Throop Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Alexandra Lipera and constructed in 2006. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over its history, with the most significant being a rat sighting in January 2023 and documented rodent activity in March 2023, though subsequent inspections in July 2023 and June 2024 resulted in passing grades. In 2018, serious safety violations were recorded in the first-floor apartment (Apt 1) regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were resolved as of August 2023.

The building has maintained an apparently successful bedbug management program from 2020 through 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has had two instances of failing to file the required annual bedbug report in 2021 and 2022, and one open violation from 2010 regarding an illegal fastening device on the building's metal gate door, though records indicate this was certified as resolved in August 2023. The building's documented history shows consistent efforts to address various maintenance issues, with recent inspections generally showing improved compliance.

The most recent bedbug report filings from 2023 through 2025 indicate the building is currently free of infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 have passed. While the building has experienced multiple violations over the years, recent improvements suggest better management practices are in place, though the open violation from 2010 regarding the building's gate security equipment is notable as it has remained unresolved for an extended period. The property has maintained a relatively stable history since its construction, with the majority of health and safety violations being addressed in a timely manner.
