634 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The property at 634 4th Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Sunset Park, constructed in 1920. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably concerning its ground-floor commercial space.
Between 2022-2023, multiple violations were recorded regarding illegal use of the ground floor as a massage parlor or physical treatment establishment, which is prohibited in the M1-2D manufacturing zoning district. These violations included illegal occupancy of converted massage rooms, unlicensed business operations, and work without proper permits for partition installation, resulting in penalties totaling $5,625, though some violations were later resolved. The building has ongoing concerns regarding pest management, particularly evidenced by multiple open violations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports in 2023 and 2024.
While rodent issues have been documented, with the most recent inspection in January 2024 passing compliance, there was reported rat activity in August 2023, indicating potential pest control challenges. Two food-related incidents were logged with the Department of Health, including a food poisoning complaint in 2024 (deemed isolated) and a rodent/insect/garbage complaint in 2022, though the latter was administratively closed after being addressed. The property has also seen complaints regarding building entrance lighting, which was resolved in 2018, and various business-related complaints between 2022-2025, including concerns over illegal adult establishment use that appear to have been addressed through Oath Violations.
