1450 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
1450 48th Street is a 6-story, 47-unit Class A residential building located in Borough Park, NYC, built in 1938 and currently owned by Joseph Meisens. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues, with at least ten documented heat/hot water complaints between March 2024 and February 2025, all involving the entire building and categorized as emergencies. These complaints indicate recurring problems with the heating system, though in most cases, tenants reported that heat and hot water were restored before inspections could be conducted.
The building has also faced elevator service challenges, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between December 2023 and May 2025, indicating ongoing issues with elevator functionality and safety. Recent building maintenance violations include defective fire escape conditions, overgrown vegetation, and multiple encumbrances in public areas (such as strollers and a stove in hallways) noted during October 2024 inspections. The elevator system has been the subject of several Environmental Control Board violations in 2024, with issues including inoperative components and oil-related problems.
The building's management has faced active violations regarding improper gas installations from 2022 related to a removed gas dryer, with penalties totaling $12,500, though these were still active as of the latest records. On a positive note, recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show minimal infestation activity, with only one reported case in 2021 that was eradicated. The building has also experienced plumbing issues, including a slow water leak reported in January 2024 and various plumbing-related complaints, though many were closed without violations being issued. The property currently has two active DOB violations for failing to file required energy efficiency documentation, one from 2021 regarding benchmarking and another from 2024 related to external low pressure inspection.
