736 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 4-story, 4-unit residential building at 736 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Said Abuhashish, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, particularly regarding pest control. As of April 2024, the building has open Housing Maintenance Code violations (classified as Class A) for failing to file annual bedbug reports for three consecutive years (2021, 2022, and 2023), indicating potential issues with compliance to required pest management protocols.

Between 2020 and 2021, there were multiple documented rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with the most recent sighting occurring in January 2021, though a compliance inspection in May 2021 did show passed results. Interestingly, the building has shown some progress in rodent management, with no rat-related complaints recorded after 2021, and a compliance inspection passing on May 28, 2021.

The building's history also includes one complaint about illegal after-hours work in February 2020, which was investigated and determined to have no warranted violations at the time of inspection. Two renovation permits were issued in late 2019 and early 2020 (both under permit sequence number 01 and 02), suggesting there was some authorized construction work occurring during this period. While there are several open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, it's worth noting that these are administrative in nature and not directly related to active pest infestations, though they do indicate potential oversight in pest management protocols.
