4702 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 4702 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Jennifer Lau, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in the past 12 months. The building, constructed in 1906, has documented recurring heating problems, with three separate heat/hot water complaints between December 2024 and January 2025, one of which was classified as an emergency. There have been multiple issues related to water damage and leaks, notably affecting Apartment 1A, including violations for water leaks over ceilings in both the apartment and hallway, which were certified in August 2024.
The building also experienced problems with doors and windows, including two urgent complaints in March 2024, and a subsequent violation in May 2024 regarding window guards in Apartment 2A. The property has seen various maintenance requests over the past two years, including issues with an electric/gas range, plumbing for radiators, and multiple paint/plaster problems, particularly affecting ceilings. An inspection in July 2024 revealed several violations in Apartment 1A, including water leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and a reported roach infestation, while another violation was noted for a balcony water leak at the 4th-floor fire escape.
The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with the last reported case occurring in 2020, and no reported infestations in the past five filing periods (2020-2025). While many of the recent complaints have been closed after inspections, with some resolved through repairs, the recurring nature of heating issues and multiple violations for water-related problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance requests primarily related to basic utilities, water damage, and building systems, with most violations being addressed through certification of corrections, though one violation regarding roach infestation remains open as of the latest inspection.
