4604 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story Old Law Tenement building at 4604 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Octavio Hernandez, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Between 2018 and 2022, there were four documented complaints about heat and hot water problems, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with inspectors often unable to gain access to investigate the reported issues.

Additionally, there was a staircase-related complaint in April 2022, classified as an emergency, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's maintenance record shows some positive aspects as well, particularly regarding pest control, with consecutive bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units or eradication needs.

The Department of Buildings records indicate permit activity in 2018 and 2019, including plumbing and electrical work, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the available data. A food establishment-related complaint regarding pests or sanitation was filed in 2019 and resolved by mid-2024. While the building has a history of maintenance complaints, it is worth noting that all reported issues have been officially closed, though access challenges during inspections may indicate potential communication or access issues within the building.
