447 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit building at 447 Evergreen Avenue, built in 1931 and currently owned by William Shahin, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a cluster of pest-related complaints in September 2022, with at least one violation issued regarding a mouse infestation in Apartment 2, though these complaints were closed following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 to present, with no reported infestations in the last three years of filings (2022-2025).

Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, though an April 2025 inspection noted rat activity. The building has had several other maintenance issues requiring attention. In October 2019, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, wall conditions, and a broken window guard, all of which were closed without violations being issued.

During the same period, several critical violations were noted, including defective fire egress (specifically an iron ladder issue), missing gas leak notification, and missing heating system key holder notification - though all these violations are now listed as closed. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, with only intermittent rat activity noted between 2015 and 2025. Current records indicate no active violations, and the building's maintenance status has shown improvement, particularly in pest management, with no reported infestations in the past two years.
