485 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The four-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 485 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Guy Assaf and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most recently, in June 2025, the building was found to have rodent activity, following a 2024 inspection where it had passed.
Significant safety concerns were documented in 2022, including deficiencies with fire escape ladders, door closers, and the presence of encumbering household items around fire escape routes. Multiple violations were also noted regarding safety signage, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and emergency procedures. Though a bedbug report violation was recorded in 2024, and a condition attracting rodents was noted in 2025, it's worth noting that all bedbug-related filings from 2020 to 2025 recorded zero infested or eradicated units.
The building's rodent inspections have generally passed, with the exception of the most recent June 2025 finding. While many previous violations from 2022-2024 have been closed, the recurrence of pest-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's 311 service requests and inspection history indicate a pattern of addressing safety requirements, though some recent violations remain open as of mid-2025.
