476 Washington Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

476 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 2018, currently owned by Gregory Cohen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in July 2020 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building.

Following these incidents, various violations were documented, particularly affecting Apartment D on the 4th story, including problems with water supply (both hot and cold), ceiling plaster, and roof leaks, though many of these violations remain open as of the latest inspection. During the building's construction and initial occupancy period, several complaints were filed between 2018-2019 regarding construction safety and code compliance, including three Environmental Control Board violations related to improperly installed pump jacks and garbage container management in April 2019, for which $5,625 in penalties was imposed (though these were later resolved). The building's construction history shows multiple permit issuances in 2018-2019, with some concerning plumbing work and general building requirements.

More recently, the property has maintained an active track record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past four consecutive annual filings from 2021-2024. The building's current maintenance record shows fewer recent complaints, though the multiple open violations from 2020 related to Apartment D and building-wide systems remain notable. While the construction period had several enforcement actions, inspections during the post-construction period have generally shown improved compliance, with no major recent violations or complaints recorded between 2021 and 2025, except for the previously mentioned open violations from 2020.
