474 Avenue Y, Brooklyn, NY 11223

474 Avenue Y in Gravesend is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Agata Vivona. The building's documented history reveals several concerning patterns between 2019-2021, particularly regarding gas safety and construction-related issues.

In 2019, there were multiple complaints about potentially illegal or defective gas hook-ups or piping, with inspectors unable to gain access during several attempts. Additionally, there was a complaint about illegal commercial or manufacturing use in a residential zone, though no violations were found upon inspection in November 2019. In early 2021, the building experienced indoor air quality issues related to construction dust, which was documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

While this complaint was closed with an advisory sent to the property management, it's worth noting that this was during a period when multiple complaints about gas-related issues had been filed. Two other complaints were registered in 2020-2021 regarding permit issues, though inspections in January 2021 found no violations warranting action. Given the age of the building and the pattern of access issues experienced by inspectors, particularly during the 2019 complaints, there may be potential concerns about maintenance access protocols, though no current violations or complaints are on record as of July 2025.
