82 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

This newly constructed 3-story, 28-unit building at 82 4th Avenue in Boerum Hill, completed in 2023 and owned by Ruben Azrak, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in its relatively short existence. The building has faced recurring water supply problems, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and November 2023, some marked as immediate emergencies. In November 2023, there were also serious issues with inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building, resulting in violations being issued.

An inspection of apartment 9C in November 2023 revealed inadequate cold water supply at sinks and wash basins, though this violation was certified as resolved by December. The building's construction and early operation phases showed various safety and compliance concerns. During its construction in 2021-2022, there were multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety, including issues with unsupported scaffold, backflow prevention devices, and failure to maintain proper housekeeping standards, all of which have been resolved.

While the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past two years (2023-2024), the persistent water supply issues and the initial heating system problems suggest some ongoing infrastructure challenges, though there is currently no open violation status on record for these systems. The Department of Buildings' inspection records from 2019-2021 show several violations related to plumbing and gas systems during the early construction phase, though these were also resolved. Despite the initial difficulties, the absence of recent bedbug reports and the resolution of previous construction violations indicate some stabilization of building conditions as of 2025.
