409 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211

409 Broadway in Williamsburg is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 2006, currently owned by Chaim Friedman. The building experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in February 2021, with multiple complaints filed regarding stairs, pest infestations, and interior surface conditions (walls and ceilings). These complaints, along with a heating problem, were all subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued in relation to these complaints.

During the same period, several Housing Maintenance Code issues were identified and resolved, including concerns with carbon monoxide detectors, window frames, and an electric/gas range. The building has a documented history of elevator-related issues, with complaints filed in 2018 and 2020 regarding elevator service and safety features. In 2020, two Environmental Control Board violations were issued for failure to maintain door lock monitoring systems, each carrying a $1,250 penalty, though these were ultimately resolved.

More recently, the building's bedbug reporting for the 2023-2024 period shows no infestation or eradication cases, continuing a pattern of zero infestations reported since 2019. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all required inspections conducted in 2015 and 2018. While there have been various maintenance issues over the years, most have been promptly addressed, and recent records indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding pest management.
