Augrented Insights Report for 4801 8th Avenue

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 4801 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Vay Lau and constructed in 1934, has experienced several notable issues regarding building maintenance and resident services in recent years. Most significantly, in April 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues and appliance problems (specifically electric/gas ranges), though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluations in these instances.

The building has ongoing obligations regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations from 2018-2024 related to the failure to file annual reports. Safety-related violations from 2018 remain open regarding gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, housing information guides, proper lighting, and a double cylinder lock at the entrance.

The property has a history of various complaints and violations extending back to 2018, including structural concerns such as building shaking in 2019, and multiple issues with illegal storefront signs/awnings. Recent Department of Buildings violations and Environmental Control Board issues from 2021-2024 indicate outstanding matters regarding drainage problems, work without proper permits, and failure to file correction certificates, with penalties totaling over $8,000 currently active. While some previous violations have been resolved, including those related to exit passageways, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with compliance and resident services.
