4602 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 4602 8th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Lavinia Chan, has a documented history dating back to 2018 that reveals several concerning safety issues. Most notably, in late 2018, the building experienced electrical safety problems that led to an Environmental Control Board violation, with inspectors noting inappropriate use of flexible cords as permanent wiring, including a cord running through a wall to the outside without proper GFCI protection, though this violation was ultimately resolved with a penalty of $1,600.

Multiple 311 service requests between 2021 and 2023 indicate ongoing problems with food safety, including reports of foreign objects in food and pest-related concerns, though all these complaints were marked as administratively closed after being addressed. The most recent building complaint, filed in February 2025, remains active and pertains to an illegal storefront or business sign.

While earlier electrical wiring concerns from October 2018 are recorded as in progress status during two separate complaints, inspections conducted soon after found no violations on both occasions (one resulted in an Oath Violation being served). The property, built in 1926, consists of two stories and two units, though specific unit configurations or amenities are not detailed in the available records.
