4806 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 4806 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Howard Chan, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues over the past several years. Between 2022 and early 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems, including four documented incidents in 2024 alone (January and March), and an incident in February 2023.

While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, with heat and hot water reportedly restored, the recurrence of these issues suggests ongoing system challenges. Additionally, in January 2024, the building received multiple housing maintenance code violations with one Class B violation issued for apartment F2 regarding water leaks and multiple issues with plastered surfaces and paint requirements, though these violations appear to have been addressed and closed by April 2024.

More recently, a Class A violation was issued in April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though this appears to have been a documentation issue rather than a pest infestation concern. The building's recent bedbug reports from 2025 and 2024 show no documented infestations or re-infestations, indicating the property has maintained a bedbug-free status for multiple reporting periods since 2020, with consistent documentation showing zero affected units. While the heat and water issues are a notable concern, it's worth noting that other maintenance issues, such as plastering and painting requirements, appear to have been resolved, and the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the April 2024 violation.
