864 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
864 49th Street is a 64-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by David Schreiber and located in Brooklyn's Borough Park neighborhood. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in 2025, including multiple reports of water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks) and unsanitary conditions related to pests, with HPD inspections validating some of these complaints. Notable mechanical issues include problems with electric/gas ranges in multiple units, resulting in violations and a Section 8 Failure notice in May 2025.
The building has documented electrical and safety violations, including defective door hardware in Apartment A3 and C violations regarding broken glass panes at building entrance doors, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The property underwent significant scrutiny in 2023-2024 for alleged illegal conversions, with violations issued regarding occupancy and egress issues between units 14 & 15, though these violations were later resolved. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in late 2024, particularly affecting Apartment A3, including issues with windows, plumbing, and bathroom fixtures.
The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with only one reported case in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024). While several Department of Buildings violations were issued in recent years, most were dismissed or resolved, though one violation regarding a 2020 external low-pressure inspection remains active as of 2024. The property has also faced various electrical safety concerns in past years, including issues with metal raceway enclosures and improper grounding of electrical equipment, though these violations were ultimately resolved.
