464 Wyona Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

464 Wyona Street is a three-unit, three-story "New Law Tenement" built in 1901 and currently owned by Mark Carr. The building has a concerning pattern of recent violations, with multiple open housing maintenance code violations as of 2024. Most notably, there are significant issues related to an unauthorized converted cellar apartment, including illegal cooking facilities (gas range) and improperly maintained plumbing fixtures.

The building has also been cited for safety concerns, including defective self-closing doors at both the building entrance and in the first-floor apartment, documented in November 2023. An ongoing issue appears to be the building's failure to comply with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024. The property has been subject to enforcement actions regarding the unauthorized cellar conversion, with a Department of Buildings complaint filed in February 2024, though access was denied for inspections in April 2024.

An Environmental Control Board violation related to the illegal conversion has been issued with a penalty of $1,280 that remains active. It's worth noting that the building passed rodent inspections in 2012, but the most recent available inspection records show a pattern of unresolved violations, particularly regarding building safety and unauthorized modifications. The combination of these violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and code compliance that may impact resident comfort and safety.
