441 Avenue W, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 441 Avenue W in Gravesend, owned by Albert Mann and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related events over recent years. Most significantly, the property faced multiple issues with standing water in 2019, with four separate complaints regarding puddles on the driveway and ground between May 7-10 of that year.

These complaints were logged with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though typically resulting in agency contact or inspection. In addition to these water-related concerns, the building has had documented pest issues, including rat sightings in May 2019 (which resulted in an inspection) and an unsanitary condition related to pests in July 2020, though no violations were issued following HPD's investigation of the latter complaint. More recently, the building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with filing requirements between 2019 and 2025, with no instances of infestation or re-infestation reported in any of the eight consecutive annual filings.

A potential concern arose in February 2022 when a violation was noted regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has also been subject to one Department of Buildings complaint in 2019 regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone, which was investigated but no violations were found. The building passed an initial rodent inspection in May 2019, and while there were multiple water-related complaints that year, the most recent 311 service requests and violations on record (through 2023) appear to be minimal, suggesting improved conditions in recent years.
