4202 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 14-unit, 7-story building at 4202 8th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Steven Cheng and constructed in 1922, has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, particularly regarding elevator safety and maintenance. The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple violations documented between 2018 and 2020 related to safety features, missing test tags, and lack of proper maintenance, including an active violation from 2019 for failing to correct defects identified during a 2017 inspection.
There is also an active Environmental Control Board violation from June 2023 concerning obstructed passageways in the cellar classroom area, which was allegedly filled with garbage. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with the most recent violations in 2023 and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though official filings in 2022 indicated no infested dwelling units and 15 units successfully treated.
The property underwent a rodent inspection in March 2017, which passed without issues. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the elevator system and bedbug reporting compliance, it appears that major safety systems other than the elevator have generally been maintained to acceptable standards, with the most recent rodent and bedbug reports showing proper management of those specific issues, though the recent bedbug report filing violations are noteworthy.
