48 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit building at 48 4th Avenue in Boerum Hill, owned by Abdul-ganiu Muritala, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations were recorded during an August 4th inspection, including problems with water leaks, missing safety notices for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and inadequate emergency signage.

These violations, primarily affecting the first-floor apartment, included a water leak issue in Apartment 1, missing gas leak procedures notice, and the need to install proper safety notices - all of which were classified as Class A violations. A heavy flow water leak was reported in July 2021, though no violations were issued after HPD's inspection. More recent concerns include a rodent sighting complaint in February 2024, which was not able to be inspected due to access issues.

The building has had its annual bedbug reporting requirements consistently met from 2021 to 2024, with no documented infestations or eradications during these periods, suggesting proper compliance with pest management protocols. While some violations from the 2021 inspection were subsequently closed, several remain unresolved as of October 2023, including safety-related issues that could impact resident well-being. The building's most recent violation history shows mostly resolved issues, though the persistence of some violations raises questions about ongoing maintenance responsiveness.
