502 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The two-family residential building at 502 Avenue U in Gravesend, constructed in 1931 and currently managed by 502 Ave U LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most significantly, there are three active Department of Buildings violations issued on June 30, 2023, related to the failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020 and 2021.
Health and safety concerns have also emerged, with a food establishment-related complaint about rodents/insects/garbage filed in September 2024, though this was subsequently closed by the NYC Health Department. The building has demonstrated thorough compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reports from 2022 through 2025, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.
A rodent inspection conducted in June 2024 resulted in a passing grade. It is noteworthy that while the bedbug and rodent situations appear to be under control, the building has recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2023 related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though these violations are marked as "Close," suggesting they may have been resolved. The current legal and regulatory situation appears to be primarily centered on the active DOB violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings from 2020 and 2021.
