487 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

487 Classon Avenue is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Eric Komoroff. The building has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a fire escape-related safety complaint in April 2025, which was reportedly corrected.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2024, including concerns about sprinkler heads, self-closing doors, and fire safety measures in the cellar, though these violations have been marked as closed. The building has also faced ongoing challenges with its low-pressure system inspections, with active violations from 2018-2023 indicating failure to file required inspection reports, which raises concerns about potentially outdated fire safety equipment.

Apartment conditions have varied over the past two years, with documented incidents including water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 3, egress issues in Apartment 1, and door problems in Apartments 5 and 3, though all these complaints were eventually resolved. The building's pest management record shows a recent bedbug report for 2024 with no infestations recorded during the previous two reporting periods (2022-2023), and regular rodent inspections between 2022-2025 indicate a reduction in rat activity, with the most recent inspections passing successfully. While some improvements have been made, particularly in rodent management, the pattern of safety-related violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building system and infrastructure.
