486 Williams Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

486 Williams Avenue is a 4-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement located in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by Kia Belgrave. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints documented in early 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most notably, a June 2024 inspection revealed active violations in apartment 2B related to inadequate hot water supply, electrical issues, visible mold, and damaged flooring, while apartment 2C had documented pest infestation problems.

The building has maintained an active bedbug management record, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated, following a period from 2022-2023 with no infestations. The property has undergone several inspections and maintenance reviews, with varying results. While rodent inspections from 2011, 2012, and 2019 all passed, more recent inspections in 2024 revealed pest problems in unit 2C, which were subsequently addressed.

A comprehensive inspection in 2022 noted a painting requirement for the first-story public hall, and an A-class violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report, which was later resolved. The building has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, with most 311 complaints being investigated and resolved, though many inspections from 2024 show either persistent or newly identified violations requiring attention. While some mechanical and structural issues have been documented, such as problems with doors/windows and flooring, these have generally been addressed through proper channels, though some violations remain open as of the most recent inspections.
