946 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-family house at 946 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Yoel Horowitz, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most significantly, a September 2022 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2, including the presence of mold (approximately 11 square feet) in the bathroom ceiling, which required tracing and repairing the source, as well as addressing lead-based paint hazards on the same bathroom ceiling.

This inspection period also identified several safety compliance issues that were later certified as corrected by November 2022, including the need to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures in common areas, and to repair the building's front entrance door. The building's history also includes some exterior and common area maintenance work, with a 2018 inspection noting the need to repair broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint in uniform color on both the north and east walls of the first-story vestibule.

A complaint filed in September 2022 regarding an unspecified permit issue was documented as closed due to the inspector being unable to gain access during the second final attempt in October 2022. While many of these violations have been resolved as indicated by their "closed" status, the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, suggests previous challenges with building upkeep and regulatory compliance. The building, constructed in 1931, is classified as a two-family house and consists of two stories.
