459 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-unit building at 459 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Ahmad Ahmad, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, there was a cluster of inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) addressing multiple concerns including a heavy water leak, problems with the ceiling, electrical outlet issues, and malfunctioning appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range).

While these complaints were all closed without any violations being issued, the frequency and variety of the issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also faced recurring administrative compliance issues, with open violations for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC for four consecutive years (2021 through 2024).

These open violations represent a more serious concern, as they indicate noncompliance with health and safety reporting requirements. Looking back at the property's history, a rodent inspection conducted in 2012 resulted in a passing grade, but there have been no subsequent rodent-related complaints or inspections on record. The building, which was built in 1930 and is classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A", has clearly experienced some persistent maintenance and compliance issues that warrant attention.
