120 4th Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

At 120 4th Place in Carroll Gardens, this 4-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 1931 has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a rodent sighting report that resulted in an inspection, which passed with only minor violations (though rodent presence is nonetheless concerning). The building has been grappling with water-related issues, particularly in 2024, when violations were documented regarding water leaks affecting both the north and east/south walls of apartment B2 at the lower level.

These violations, issued in July 2024, remain active as of the latest update and involve multiple requirements for proper repair and abatement. The property has also faced repeated heating and hot water system challenges, with emergency complaints filed in December 2020 indicating building-wide issues, though these were subsequently reported as resolved. A concerning pattern of pest-related complaints emerged between 2019 and 2021, including a significant bedbug infestation involving two units in 2019-2020, though subsequent reports from 2020-2024 indicate no further infestations.

The building underwent multiple inspections in 2021, resulting in several violations related to safety signage requirements, including missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, as well as the need to post gas leak procedures. While most of these violations were eventually resolved, one violation regarding the heating system keyholder notice remains open. Additionally, there was a violation issued in November 2019 concerning the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, which is still listed as active. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and responses to tenant complaints, though the persistence of certain violations and recent pest and heat issues may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
