476 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 9-unit, 5-story residential building at 476 Maple Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Abraham Grunbaum, was constructed in 2021 and has experienced several maintenance issues since opening. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, including emergency complaints in August 2022 and February 2025 that were investigated but did not show housing law violations. The building has also faced issues with its intercom system, windows, and plumbing, with the most recent intercom complaint in February 2025 resulting in an HPD inspection that could not be completed due to access issues.

During a 2022 HPD inspection of Apartment 1B, multiple violations were documented, including problems with hot water supply, bathroom mold, and defective self-closing doors, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's construction phase in 2020-2021 had some regulatory scrutiny, with several complaints about illegal after-hours work and sustainability enforcement issues, though inspections did not warrant violations. An environmental control board violation was issued in June 2021 regarding inadequate egress during construction, resulting in a $625 penalty.

The property has maintained an excellent record with respect to pest management, with multiple bedbug reports from 2022 to 2025 showing no infested units reported. While the building has faced some maintenance challenges, most recent complaints have been resolved quickly, and there have been no repeated patterns of serious violations. The property has proper certification of systems installed, including multiple permits issued in 2020-2021 for various construction work.
