3924 9th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

3924 9th Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in the Borough Park neighborhood, currently owned by Kaho Yeung. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurring heat and hot water problems. A complaint filed in January 2024 regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the building could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues.

Additionally, the building has faced multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2024 indicated no current infestations or eradication efforts. In terms of structural and safety concerns, the building underwent an inspection in August 2023 that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to an illegal horizontal enlargement at the first floor level in the rear yard. These violations, which included unauthorized occupancy, improper construction methods, and work performed without proper permits, carried penalties totaling $6,250, though records show these were resolved with no outstanding balances.

The property has a documented history of plumbing issues, with a complaint from 2019 regarding defective or leaking plumbing, though this was ultimately determined to be unsubstantiated based on departmental records. A heat and hot water emergency complaint from January 2024 has been recorded in the housing maintenance code violations, though the violation status is listed as "Closed," which may require further investigation to confirm resolution. While the building's recent bedbug reporting compliance shows improvement with no reported infestations during the 2022-2023 filing period, the property has experienced recurring issues with both heating systems and maintenance compliance over the past several years.
