492 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The four-story, 8-unit tenement building at 492 Classon Avenue in Clinton Hill, currently owned by George Murray, has experienced several notable pest management issues over the past five years. While the building has consistently submitted its required annual bedbug reports showing no instances of infestation or re-infestation between 2019 and 2025, it's worth noting that there have been recurring violations regarding the timely filing of these reports in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though these violations have since been closed.
More concerning are two documented instances of rat activity within the building in 2021 and 2022, with one being an initial inspection and the other a compliance check. Despite these pest-related challenges, recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicate a clean record with zero infested units, suggesting successful compliance with eradication protocols once the issues were addressed.
The building, constructed in 1900 as part of New York City's New Law Tenement movement, appears to be maintaining basic compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, though the pattern of violations related to bedbug report filings raises questions about administrative oversight. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025 shows a continued absence of infestations, which is a positive development in terms of resident habitability.
