459 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn

11 open code violations across 6 units, driven by severe pest write-ups and apartment maintenance issues.

A 6-unit DeKalb Avenue rental with 11 open housing violations on file — including 4 immediately hazardous Class C write-ups for pest infestations. The building carries heavy internal maintenance friction alongside active sidewalk parking blockages nearby. Three things to know:

A single apartment accounts for the active Class C violation history. In February and August 2026, inspectors issued repeated Class C citations for roaches and mice in Apt 2R, alongside broken door frames, damaged plaster, a loose kitchen sink, and bathroom ceiling leaks. For a 6-unit property, this concentrated friction points to delayed repairs in specific lines.

Indoor air quality complaints show up on the surrounding blocks. 7 indoor air quality complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, with the most recent call in July 2026. Odor and air quality calls in residential corridors often point to lower-floor retail, food venting, or shared HVAC riser bleed that reaches upper units.

Sidewalk and curb blocking dominates the immediate three-block area. 3,970 illegal parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, with 3,686 specifically citing sidewalk blockages. Driveway and walkway obstruction along this stretch creates constant curb friction directly outside.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Corporate entity VIJAY REALTY CORP has held the title since March 2000
• 7 heat and hot water complaints logged against the property over time
• 75 for-hire vehicle complaints logged within three blocks over the last year
