485 Herzl Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
485 Herzl Street, a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement built in 1930 and currently owned by David Fastad, is experiencing several ongoing maintenance issues as of 2025. The building has faced recurring problems with garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and May 2025, though HPD inspections consistently found no violations of housing laws. More concerning are the open violations observed in Apartment 2R, including loose ceramic tiles above the bathtub, defective kitchen sink connection pipe, inadequate heating, and issues requiring window guard installations.
The building has documented heating system access and maintenance concerns from 2023-2024, and a rodent infestation violation in 2023, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown improved rodent compliance. The property has a history of building-wide heat and hot water issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints in January 2025. Earlier maintenance problems included bathroom tile repairs and missing ceiling hatch covers, though some violations have been closed through certification.
Notably, there have been two complaints regarding illegal conversions (2018, 2023) and a failure to maintain complaint (2019), though access issues limited inspection verification. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2022 shows no infestations during the three reporting periods. While the property has faced various maintenance challenges, recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed compliance checks, suggesting some improvement in building conditions.
