462 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
462 Central Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential tenement building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Joel Hershkowitz. The building has experienced recurring issues with pests, particularly evident in 2025 and 2023 when complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspections found no violations.
There have been multiple rodent-related incidents over recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing no rat activity, following several years of rodent problems requiring bait application in 2016 and inspections showing rat activity in 2020 and 2021. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a significant mold issue identified in 2020 that resulted in violations, and multiple complaints regarding sewage problems during 2019-2021, though inspections generally found no violations. Heat and hot water complaints were documented in March-April 2019, with these issues reportedly resolved during inspections.
More recent achievements include the completion of bedbug reporting for 2022-2024 showing no affected units, and the building passed its most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, suggesting some improvement in pest management. However, violations related to safety features such as proper door closure and emergency procedures have been noted, though these violations appear to have been addressed based on subsequent inspections. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing attention to basic services, with periodic issues being addressed through the proper channels, though not all inspections have resulted in violations being found.
