489 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

489 Maple Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2006 in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, currently owned by Eyal Ovadia. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between September 2023 and April 2024.

During this period, the building received multiple emergency complaints for water leaks with heavy flow, mold issues, and problems with windows and frames, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations associated with these complaints. Notably, in September 2023, there were also two complaints regarding unpermitted work in the occupied multiple dwelling, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit for verification. The building's violation history shows some attention to safety and maintenance requirements, including a violation in 2023 regarding an illegal hasp lock at the front yard gate, which was certified as resolved.

Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual reports from 2020 through 2025 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or reinfestation. The building also passed its initial rodent inspection in December 2009. While recent maintenance issues have emerged, it's worth noting that most complaints during the 2023-2024 period did not result in formal violations, and the property's overall record shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and prompt resolution of various maintenance issues as they arose.
