454 East 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
454 East 48th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in East Flatbush, owned by Dropattie Chetram and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being a current indoor air quality complaint regarding construction dust that was reported in February 2025, though inspection access was not granted.
Between late 2022 and 2024, the building underwent multiple inspections that revealed various code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2R, which required repairs to its flushing apparatus, baseboard heater cover, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detecting devices - all of which were certified as resolved by October 2024. There were also violations recorded in late 2024 concerning defective self-closing doors at both the 3rd-story bulkhead and the boiler room.
The building's recent history shows some regular maintenance issues, including a violation for failure to file the 2022 External Low-Pressure Inspection in April 2023 (dismissed in August 2023), and investigations into illegal conversion and egress problems in late 2019, though no violations were confirmed in the latter case. Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2022 and 2024, as evidenced by the building's bedbug report filings showing zero infested or re-infested units during the most recent reporting periods from 2023-2024. Two service requests regarding excess debris were made in 2025, though access for inspection was not granted in these cases.
