481 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 481 Dekalb Avenue property in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a three-story, two-family house built in 1920 and currently owned by Nadav Hamo. The building has recently undergone several inspections and faced various compliance checks, with the most significant issues occurring between 2022-2024. In late 2022, there were multiple violations related to illegal transient use on the first floor, including occupancy issues, inadequate fire safety systems, and unauthorized construction of kitchen and bathroom facilities, resulting in significant penalties totaling over $31,000 (most of which remains unpaid).
These violations were eventually resolved, but they indicated serious safety concerns at the time. The building has maintained periodic inspections for rodent activity, with multiple instances of rat activity reported in 2023-2024, though recent inspections in 2025 show improvement with "Passed" results. Windows and door maintenance has been a recurring issue, with a non-emergency complaint filed in December 2023 regarding window frames, which was investigated but no violations were found.
The property has undergone three recent Department of Buildings inspections in early 2025 related to sustainability enforcement and a sweep, with no violations noted in any of these recent inspections. While there are no current outstanding violations or pending complaints on record, the property's history shows a pattern of both maintenance issues and active compliance management, with recent improvements in rodent control and building inspections suggesting some progress in property upkeep. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2022 shows no infestations during the reporting periods.
