941 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

941 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jose Fernandez. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably an emergency heat and hot water system failure in December 2022 that affected multiple units. Despite multiple complaints, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to many apartments during their inspections at that time.

More recently, in early 2025, the building has been dealing with rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple DOHMH complaints and inspections in January and February 2025, both showing confirmed rat activity. The building has maintained consistent compliance with NYC’s bedbug reporting requirements from 2018 through 2025, showing zero infested or eradicated units in each reporting period. The property’s recent history shows ongoing food establishment inspections in early 2025 and late 2024, though the specific nature of these complaints is not detailed beyond standard procedural notifications.

Earlier issues included a series of heat and hot water complaints throughout 2022, with similar access issues preventing proper inspection. The building's permit history shows at least one permit issued in July 2020 for work classified as Alterations (AL). While the property has had periodic rodent activity as documented in inspections dating back to 2016, the frequency and recent pattern of complaints suggest this may be an ongoing challenge. Notably, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, with no documented infestations or eradications during this period.
