15 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit brownstone at 15 4th Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Victoria Capozucca, has experienced several notable issues over the past five years. Most concerning are the two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024, both related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though previous violations from 2021 and 2022 were properly closed.

In 2018, there were multiple health and maintenance complaints, including three separate reports of construction-related indoor air quality issues in late 2018, and two unsanitary garbage/recycling storage complaints from October 2018, along with an emergency heat/hot water complaint for the entire building in August 2018; however, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions in all cases. The building's permit history shows activity in September 2018 with permits issued for plumbing and exterior work under job number 340620475, likely related to the construction work that prompted the dust complaints.

A review of more recent conditions shows that all bedbug reports submitted between 2019-2021 indicated zero infested units, though the failure to file the required reports for 2022 and 2023 has resulted in the current violations. While the 2018 complaints suggest periods of maintenance and air quality concerns, there are no recorded complaints or violations in the past three years, indicating potential improvement in building conditions.
