460 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

460 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building constructed in 2008 in Bushwick, currently owned by Jinyou Kang. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant concern being a mold problem identified in September 2021 affecting multiple areas in the 1st-floor apartment. This apartment also showed evidence of rat activity in 2021, while the building had documented rodent issues throughout 2021-2022, with some inspections showing violations.

Between late 2018 and early 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both apartments, along with pest infestations in the 2nd-floor unit, which included mice and roaches. The building's violation history reveals several Housing Maintenance Code citations, including inadequate heat supplies and safety equipment in 2019, though many of these violations were subsequently resolved. Prior to these issues, there was a significant environmental control board violation in 2018 related to unauthorized work during a stop work order, which resulted in a $5,000 penalty.

More recently, the building has shown improved compliance with rodent control, passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in the 2021 inspection. A bedbug report filed for the period from late 2019 to late 2020 indicated that while 2 units were treated, no re-infestations were recorded. The most recent inspection in April 2025 passed without issues.
