493 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
493 Classon Avenue is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1930 and currently owned by Brian Ward. The property has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2023, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report.
While the building's 2024 bedbug report (filed April 2024) showed no infested or re-infested units, this pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance. The building currently has active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2019, which remain open as of the latest available data. The property has also faced significant rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity throughout 2023 and 2024.
Of particular note, there were three consecutive inspections showing rat activity between August 2023 and March 2024, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown passing results. These findings suggest that while some progress has been made in addressing rodent issues, this remains an ongoing concern for the building. The most recent rodent inspections in February 2025 passed, indicating potential improvement, though the pattern of previous violations suggests this has been a recurring issue.
