490 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

490 Maple Street is a three-unit residential building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Timothy Blake and constructed in 1987. The property has several ongoing concerns, most notably consisting of multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, which have not been certified as resolved.

The first-floor apartment (Apartment 1) has a documented history of safety-related violations from 2018, including issues with smoke detectors, fire egress, and various security modifications such as illegal locks and bars, though some of these were subsequently closed. The building has experienced recurring pest management challenges, with rodent activity documented in 2014, 2015, and 2018, though more recent inspections in 2018 and 2019 showed some improvements, with the last rodent inspection in 2019 resulting in a passing grade.

While these violations and pest issues raise concerns about building maintenance, it's worth noting that the property is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight, as evidenced by the frequent inspections and issued notices of violation. The building has a relatively modern construction date of 1987 for the neighborhood context, and the three-unit configuration is typical for this area.
