4602 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4602 4th Avenue in Sunset Park is a 32-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1979, currently owned by Joseph Windels. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2022 and 2025, including two recent emergencies in February 2025 affecting the entire building. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including a period of electrical issues with a power outage in February 2025, and various complaints through 2023 regarding janitorial services, window frames, and other general maintenance matters.

Significant violations were documented in December 2022, including defective self-closing fire doors in the laundry room and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment S307, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's elevator system has been a notable concern, with multiple complaints and violations between 2021 and 2025, including an active ECB violation from October 2021 regarding missing data tags and other maintenance issues, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. An inspection in May 2025 related to the elevator system found no violations.

Recent bedbug reports show two infested units in the 2024 reporting period, though both were marked as eradicated; prior years (2018-2023) showed no infestations. The building has had mixed rodent inspection results, with evidence of rat activity recorded in April 2022 and passing inspections in October 2022 and January 2013. The property has undergone various improvements and corrections, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations and complaints, but the recurring nature of heat, electrical, and elevator issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
