4812 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4812 7th Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, owned by Eunice Cui and constructed in 1919 as a New Law Tenement. The building has undergone several significant events and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was active construction work in 2021 that resulted in multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations, including issues with construction safety, inadequate tenant protection plans, and several safety violations with penalties totaling over $30,000, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building had recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2020 through 2023, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting compliance with bedbug remediation requirements. Recent maintenance issues include electrical problems (no lighting) and ceiling plaster issues reported in September and July 2020, respectively, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. A significant safety concern was addressed in July 2020 when a violation was issued regarding security camera cables obstructing egress from fire escapes on the second-story balcony, though this was subsequently closed.

The building has maintained relatively good compliance record since 2022, with the most recent bedbug report in December 2024 showing no infestations. The property has had multiple permit issuances, with the most recent permit issued in March 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance or improvement work. An active violation remains as of October 2023 regarding the failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation from January 2021.
