4913 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
4913 7th Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Xiu Gan Zheng. The building has a concerning history of violations related to safety and maintenance, with the most recent four consecutive years (2021-2024) showing recurring violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports, as well as multiple instances of illegal cellar use.
Significant past issues include a hazardous illegal gaming operation in the cellar with multiple gaming machines and unsafe conditions involving propane tanks between 2019-2022, for which the building was fined a total of $20,000 across several Environmental Control Board violations. The property has also faced safety concerns regarding fire escape access and emergency egress, with violations related to obstructed fire escapes and missing safety equipment, though many of these violations were subsequently closed after penalties were settled. More recent activity includes a 2025 Local Law audit that resulted in a Stop Work Order, which was later rescinded, and an ongoing Sustainability Enforcement work order from late 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unaddressed safety concerns, specifically regarding fire safety equipment and emergency access. Of particular note is the building's unchanged status regarding bedbug report compliance from 2021 to 2024, suggesting ongoing issues with housing maintenance code compliance. The property has also been subject to multiple investigative complaints regarding possible illegal conversions and unauthorized uses, particularly in 2021-2022, though many of these investigations were marked as "Unable to Gain Access" during inspections.
