126 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 10-story, 56-unit residential building at 126 4th Avenue in Gowanus, owned by George Rigas and constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in January 2024, a slow water leak complaint was filed with HPD, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation, requiring the tenant to re-file the complaint for further inspection.

In early 2023, an emergency complaint regarding mold was investigated by HPD, but no violations were found. The building is currently facing two active violations related to the filing of critical exterior wall examination reports (FISP Cycle 9B) - one issued by the Department of Buildings in February 2023 and another by the Environmental Control Board in April 2024, with a $1,250 penalty.

The property has demonstrated good pest management practices, as evidenced by its bedbug reporting history showing zero infestation cases in all reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. A notable violation was recorded in 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings have consistently shown no infested units or eradication efforts required. While the building has experienced moisture-related issues (as evidenced by the mildew and water leak complaints), the general pattern of complaint resolution and inspection outcomes suggests that most reported issues have been adequately addressed, though the recent water leak investigation remains unresolved as of the latest data.
