456 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

456 79th Street is a historic 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bay Ridge, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Walla Mohamed. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple incidents between 2018-2019 involving heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints filed in February 2019 that required HPD inspection.

The building also faced significant plumbing challenges during the same period, with multiple water supply issues reported between November 2018 and January 2019, some requiring emergency responses. Electrical infrastructure problems were documented in September 2018, resulting in violations, though these were treated as non-emergency.

More recent concerns are focused on safety compliance, with open Class A violations identified during 2021-2024 inspections related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. Additional safety issues were documented in September 2018, specifically in the first-floor apartment (Apartment 1), including problems with electrical outlets, plaster surfaces, and inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which remain listed as open violations. While the building is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," suggesting a prior conversion to multiple dwelling status, the property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges that have required multiple HPD interventions and resulted in several outstanding safety violations.
