4605 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4605 4th Avenue is a three-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Hungfei Chan. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which reflect ongoing compliance issues with housing regulations.

Additionally, there is one open Class B violation from April 2019 regarding inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance, which requires maintaining a minimum 100-watt light fixture from sunset to sunrise. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring issues that were ultimately resolved, including a slow water leak in September 2022 and various problems in January 2019 involving pests and an appliance malfunction (specifically a refrigerator), though no violations were issued in connection with these complaints.

More recently, in May 2024, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion of the property, but the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the conditions on two final attempts in June 2024, resulting in the case being closed. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, many complaints have been addressed through standard inspection processes, and no serious safety violations are currently on record. However, the multiple unaddressed violations regarding bedbug report filings and the unresolved lighting issue suggest some lapses in regular maintenance and oversight procedures.
