4710 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 4710 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Paul Belli, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing concerns have involved heating and hot water systems, with three documented complaints in 2022 (December), 2023 (November), and most recently in 2024 (November), though in each instance, tenants reported that services were restored before inspections could confirm ongoing issues. Electrical concerns have also been notable, with recent complaints about outlets/switches in 2024 and previous lighting issues in 2018, though some inspections were unable to gain access to verify conditions.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in September 2024 in Apartment 6, including mold in the bathroom ceiling, a problematic door to the fire escape window, and issues with self-closing doors, which were classified with varying severity levels from A to B. The building's fire safety compliance is currently under scrutiny following a June 2025 complaint about a potential illegal conversion, though access was denied during the initial inspection attempt. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reporting periods from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units.

Historical violations from 2018 included issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 1, as well as general safety violations regarding building entrance notices. The property has active permits from October 2018 for unspecified exterior work, though these permits are now several years old. While many violations appear to be promptly addressed once identified, the pattern of recurring heating, electrical, and safety-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
