4819 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4819 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Jack Geula. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat/hot water systems and plumbing maintenance over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and 2025 regarding water supply problems and building-wide heating issues.

Between September 2023 and March 2024 alone, there were several incidents involving water supply concerns, and various plumbing issues affecting toilets and bathtubs/showers, though most of these complaints were either resolved or inspected with no violations issued. The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, particularly noted in a December 2023 inspection revealing two open Class C violations regarding defective self-closing doors - one affecting the entrance to Apartment D4 and another at the public hall bulkhead door on the 4th story.

Previous violations from March 2023 involved issues with fire-retardant plaster and paint conditions in public areas, as well as a roof leak affecting the 4th-story public hall. It's worth noting that the building's management has consistently filed bedbug reports for the past three years (2020-2023), showing no infestations or related units during the reporting periods, with the most recent report in January 2025 confirming zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period. The property has had multiple heating system failures requiring emergency responses, though many of these issues were addressed after inspections.
