463 East 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 463 East 45th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Louis Joseph, has experienced recurring issues with building-wide system failures, particularly regarding heat and water supply. In June 2021, there were multiple emergency complaints about both heat/hot water and water supply problems that affected both individual apartments and the entire building.

Similar heat and hot water complaints were also recorded in November 2018, suggesting ongoing challenges with basic building systems. More recent concerns include open violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which has persisted through multiple inspections over several years.

The building has undergone several inspections for rodent control, with mixed results between 2019 and 2020, though recent inspections suggest improved compliance. An inspection in 2023 related to the Certificate of Occupancy encountered access issues and was marked as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt." While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, particularly with its heating and water systems, it's worth noting that many of the complaints have been investigated and closed without violations being found, though this may not necessarily indicate resolution of the underlying issues.
