482 Chestnut Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 3-story, 5-unit tenement building at 482 Chestnut Street in East New York, owned by Bina Jacobowitz and constructed in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024, with a particular concentration of problems emerging in the July-September period. Most notably, the building has faced ongoing pest infestations, with multiple complaints of both mice and roaches documented between July and September 2024, including one service request in July that resulted in violations.

Additional recurring issues involve plumbing problems, particularly in the second-floor apartment (2R), where both toilet and water leak concerns were reported and remain active violations. The building has also experienced issues with mold, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations, and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, which was reported as non-functional in multiple service requests.

The property has open housing maintenance code violations as of September 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2R, including failures to address water leaks, pest infestations, and problems with the intercom system. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, and the building passed an initial rodent inspection in 2012, the current violation patterns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings records show three permit filings related to electrical work (EW) between 2018-2019, with one permit still showing as "In Process" as of 2025, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the current records.
