448 Waverly Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

448 Waverly Avenue is a three-story, one-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill and owned by Sherman Nelson. The building, constructed in 1849, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all citing failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports in accordance with NYC Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The property underwent significant construction activity between 2021-2022, during which time multiple safety violations were documented.

These included numerous construction safety compliance issues, such as inadequate scaffolding, improper excavation practices, and failure to maintain required safety features like guardrails and temporary shoring. Several Stop Work Orders were issued and subsequently rescinded, indicating safety concerns during construction operations. The Department of Buildings also cited the property for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous ECB violations in September 2021, though these were later dismissed. The construction period generated multiple complaints and violations, with inspections revealing various safety hazards that required attention.

Environmental Control Board violations from this period specifically cited issues with construction equipment, unsupported scaffolding, and excavation practices that deviated from approved plans, though records indicate these violations were ultimately resolved. The building's permit history shows multiple authorized work permits issued throughout 2021 and 2022, suggesting active renovation work was taking place during this period. While the most recent bedbug reporting violations remain open as of 2024, the construction safety violations appear to have been addressed, with no recent complaints indicating current safety concerns. The property has maintained a single-unit status throughout these numerous events.
