445 Wyona Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

445 Wyona Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Alyah Horsford. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in late 2023 and early 2024, including electrical problems (lighting, outlets), door issues, and water-related concerns. Notably, there are two open violations as of April 2024 related to building security and safety: one regarding a defective entrance door self-closing mechanism and another concerning the front entrance door locking assembly.

The property has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with complaints in 2020 and 2022-2023, though inspections found that heat was restored during these incidents. Previous maintenance issues have included water leaks, electrical problems, and various other repairs needed throughout the building. The building's systems and safety features have undergone various inspections and repairs over the years.

In 2021, multiple violations were issued for apartment 1B regarding plumbing fixtures, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and hot water temperature regulation. These violations were subsequently closed. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with recent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units between 2021-2023, and previous rodent inspections in 2012 and 2019 passed without issues. While the building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water systems and building access issues, many complaints have been addressed through inspections, though some remain open or were closed without violations being issued.
