Augrented Insights Report for 142 4th Avenue

142 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 142 4 Avenue LLC. The Gowanus property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly notable problems in 2022-2024, including ongoing violations related to an illegally modified cellar area with unauthorized plumbing fixtures and a staircase, safety concerns regarding fire escape access, and multiple door-related emergencies.

The Department of Buildings has active violations against the property from 2022 and 2024, including failure to legalize alterations and conduct required inspections, with associated penalties totaling $7,500. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2010, 2014, and 2020 showing persistent issues, and multiple health department complaints between 2019-2020 regarding sewage odors, indoor air quality, and rat sightings.

Safety equipment maintenance has been a recurring issue, with violations in 2022 related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Notably, the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods (2019-2025), suggesting effective pest management in this area. Recent complaint records (2022-2025) indicate unpermitted construction modifications and safety compliance issues, though many earlier violations have been resolved.
