4023 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story, six-unit building at 4023 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by 4723 8th Ave., Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being recurring heat and hot water problems. Most recently, in November 2024, an emergency complaint was filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, which remains open as of this report. Similar heating issues were documented in December 2023, December 2021, and December 2018, suggesting an ongoing systemic problem with the building's heating infrastructure.

The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs since 2024, including addressing multiple violations related to fire safety, structural concerns, and general maintenance issues. Notable violations from December 2024 inspections include fire damage in apartment 2R, a defective dumbwaiter door, and required repairs to fire-retardant materials in public halls on both the 1st and 2nd stories. The building has also been subject to multiple investigations regarding potential illegal conversions and unauthorized modifications, particularly in 2024, with inspections noting access issues and previous violations from 2021 related to illegal occupancy as a physical treatment establishment, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory compliance, with recent inspections in 2024 addressing various Housing Maintenance Code violations, and the property appears to have maintained a pest-free environment with no documented bedbug infestations since 2022. Rodent inspections in 2018-2019 showed initial rat activity, but subsequent compliance inspections reported no such issues. The consistent pattern of heating system failures and periodic infrastructure maintenance issues, however, suggests ongoing challenges with the building's systems and facilities.
