4112 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story, three-unit building at 4112 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Raymond Yu, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there was a severe heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in early 2024, with multiple complaints resulting in violations, though some subsequent inspections found conditions had improved. The building also faced flooring issues in mid-2024, with at least one violation issued.

More recent concerns include a water leak/damp spot reported in June 2024, which was closed without violations, and an environmental control board violation from February 2024 regarding water damage in Apartment 4, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. Housing violations from 2024 show issues including a defective floor in Apartment 4, problems with self-closing doors, and missing window guards in Apartment 3. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with at least three instances between 2019 and 2024, though recent reports from 2023 and 2024 show no current infestations. A structural stability complaint regarding building shaking was filed in February 2024, resulting in an Oath violation.

There were also several housing maintenance code violations in 2024 related to heat and hot water supply, with most being addressed through subsequent repairs. The building's systems have had some maintenance challenges, including a noted defective boiler in 2022 and a work without permits complaint in 2020 that was ultimately resolved without violation. Recent inspections for rodents were generally successful, though one failed inspection was recorded in March 2022. Two permits were issued in August 2020, suggesting some construction or repair work was planned or completed during that period.
