867 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The eight-story, 150-unit building at 867 Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by 867 Fourth Ave LLC, was completed in 2020 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there have been recurring concerns about unsanitary conditions, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing violations in May 2025 regarding conditions attracting rodents.

Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) documented multiple complaints in 2025, including mold issues (February), heat and hot water problems (January and February), and a window frame issue (January) where inspection could not be completed. In mid-2024, there were several maintenance concerns including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and sink), flooring problems, and sewage concerns, though many of these inspections did not result in violations. The building's early history (2023) shows multiple Department of Buildings complaints, including a stop work order related to construction safety compliance in September 2023, building shaking concerns, and several violation notices regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements.

While most of these Building Department violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved, they indicate some initial regulatory compliance challenges. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), with no reported cases of infestation or re-infestation. The most pressing current concerns for residents appear to be the rodent-related health violations and the persistent issues with heat and hot water services, though HPD inspections have sometimes found these conditions did not violate housing laws.
