1455 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
1455 49th Street is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building in Borough Park, constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Joseoh Meisens. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints logged in December 2024, January 2024, and multiple instances in 2019-2020, though in each case, heat and hot water were reported to have been restored during inspections. The elevator system has been a consistent source of concern, with multiple violations recorded between 2019 and 2024, including recent inspections in October 2023 and March 2024 citing various maintenance issues such as misaligned mirrors and safety concerns, resulting in penalties totaling $3,595.
More recent building violations include open citations as of 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at compactor closets on multiple stories. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with inspections in 2020 confirming issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though no violations were recorded in those instances. Three bedbug reports between 2019 and 2024 showed no infestations or eradications.
Recent violations from 2024-2025 indicate lapses in energy efficiency reporting requirements, with active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspection and display energy efficiency scores. Apartment-specific issues have been documented, particularly in 2020 for unit 5C, including problems with toilet flushing apparatus, leaky faucets, and defective plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, recent bedbug reports suggest no current infestations, and the most pressing ongoing concerns appear to be related to the heat/hot water system and elevator maintenance.
