492 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, two-family house at 492 Broadway in Williamsburg, owned by Moshe Wasserman and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years.
Most notably, there were three separate complaints in September 2024 regarding serious safety concerns: defective or exposed electrical wiring (which resulted in an Oath Violation being served), a permit-related issue, and a defective or inoperative boiler complaint, though the latter two were inspected and found to have no violations at the time. Earlier in 2020, the building faced an illegal conversion issue that also resulted in an Oath Violation being served, suggesting unauthorized alterations to the property.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was involved in a food establishment-related complaint from March 2019, which was closed in June 2024, though this appears to be an isolated incident not directly related to the building's residential function. While the building has had multiple compliance issues, inspections have generally resulted in finding no violations for most recent complaints, except for the electrical wiring matter.
