4809 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4809 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Jacqueline Arroyo. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly in recent years, with multiple complaints filed between 2023-2025, including emergency calls in January 2025 and December 2024.

The building has also faced persistent electrical issues, as evidenced by multiple lighting-related complaints and violations during 2023-2025, including a significant outage in June 2025 that was classified as an immediate emergency. Current maintenance and safety concerns include an open Class A violation from May 2024 in Apartment 6 regarding wall and ceiling painting requirements, though other violations from the same inspection related to lighting fixtures and smoke/carbon monoxide detector issues were subsequently closed after repairs were certified. The building's systems have undergone various inspections, with rodent activity reported in 2016 but more recent inspections (2016-2024) showing compliance passes.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past five annual reporting periods from 2021 to 2025. The property has experienced multiple infrastructure challenges in recent years, including doors and locks issues (noted in September 2023) and a lack of hot water in Apartment 6 (October 2023). Historical records show fluctuating conditions over the years, with significant improvements noted in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, though it remains important to monitor the recurring heating and electrical system problems that have persisted through multiple seasons.
