484 East 98th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 484 East 98th Street in Brownsville, owned by Fishel Schlesinger and built in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, though recent records indicate improvements. Most notably, a 2022 complaint regarding an electric/gas range went unresolved due to lack of access.

In 2019, there was a cluster of issues reported simultaneously, including water leaks causing damp spots, door frame problems, and pest-related concerns, though inspection access was also not granted in these cases. However, during the same period, electrical outlet/switch problems were inspected and resulted in issued violations, and a heat/hot water complaint was investigated with no violations found. The building has had several documented violations and maintenance concerns over the past years, including a 2021 bedbug infestation that was subsequently addressed, and various issues in 2020 involving roach infestations, door-related problems, and encumbrances in public areas.

While these historical issues are notable, it's important to highlight that the most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 show zero infested units, indicating successful eradication efforts. The building's most recent bedbug reporting periods (2022-2025) show no infestation, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting recent improvements in pest management. Additionally, a 2020 violation regarding remedial work on broken ceramic floor tiles in the public hall was recorded, but was subsequently addressed.
