Augrented Insights Report for 3914 4th Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 3914 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Howing Chan and constructed in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern about ongoing heating system problems. In 2025, there were building-wide heat and hot water complaints reported in March that were processed as emergencies through HPD, though HPD was unable to access units for inspection. Multiple other complaints from February 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), appliance issues (refrigerator), and flooring problems also went unresolved due to access issues during inspections.

The building has an active rat activity status as of May 2025, following previous rat inspections in 2025 and historical documentation of similar findings in 2009 and 2010. There are several open housing maintenance violations from 2023 and 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and various maintenance requirements in apartment 4L and public areas, as well as two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding failure to file mandatory inspection reports for boiler systems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved complaints due to inspection access issues, though some December 2024 water leak complaints were inspected with no violations issued.

The property has a significant number of open violations and recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems and tenant safety equipment. While some violations have been issued and closed in recent years, including issues with paint/plaster work in 2023 and various safety notification requirements, many of the recent complaints have remained unresolved due to inspection access challenges. The building's age and history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep, particularly regarding heating systems, pest control, and building safety equipment compliance. The most recent inspection in May 2025 confirmed rat activity, continuing a concerning pattern of pest control challenges.
