Augrented Insights Report for 893 4th Avenue

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 893 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Bernard Schwimmer, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2019. Most notably, there has been ongoing concern with rodent infestations, with multiple DOHMH complaints in 2022 and 2024, though the most recent 2024 bedbug report shows no active infestations. The building has faced several violations related to construction safety and maintenance, including active ECB violations from 2024 regarding construction fence issues with penalties totaling $30,000, as well as multiple violations for failure to file required external low pressure inspections.

A concerning safety incident occurred in 2019 with a report of broken/missing window guards, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the condition. The property has a history of construction-related compliance issues, particularly in 2020 when multiple stop work orders were issued regarding job #321074056, though these were ultimately dismissed in 2023. There have also been recurring violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no infested units.

The building's maintenance record indicates sporadic attention to violation correction, with some complaints showing follow-up inspections revealing either rat activity or passing inspections with minor violations. The property has also generated multiple 311 complaints over the years, though many were closed without verified violations, suggesting some tenant complaints may not have indicated persistent issues. Most recently, in 2024, the building was cited for multiple violations related to external low pressure inspections that presumably have ongoing operational or safety implications. The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 indicates improved conditions compared to previous years, showing zero reported infestations between November 2023 and October 2024.
