245 East 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The three-unit, two-story tenement building at 245 East 45th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Joseph Best, has a notable history of regulatory compliance and maintenance issues since its construction in 1899.
Most recently, in January 2023, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to access issues. The building has also faced recurring administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with four separate violations documented between 2021 and 2024, though these violations appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation problem.
However, the bedbug reporting records from October 2024 show no reported infestations during the previous three filing periods (2020-2023), with all units identified as having zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. This suggests that while there were historical compliance issues, the building has maintained a pest-free status in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report filing period showing no documented instances of infestation or eradication.
