183 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

At 183 4th Avenue in Park Slope, an 8-unit, 4-story New Law tenement built in 1920 and owned by Eddie Chung, there have been persistent heating and hot water issues throughout late 2023 to present day, with multiple emergency complaints documented through 311 and HPD. Between November 2023 and March 2025, there were at least ten reported heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building or individual apartments, with several incidents occurring in rapid succession, particularly notable being clusters of complaints in November and December 2024, and March 2025.

Some complaints resulted in HPD inspections, which found various building violations that were later addressed, including issues with water leaks, roof problems, and fire safety materials in the public hall areas of the 2nd and 4th stories, as well as a specific incident in November 2023 involving heating and hot water accessibility in Apartment 5. The building's record also shows attention to other maintenance issues, though less frequently, including a rodent sighting in November 2024 that resulted in a passed inspection, and various repairs documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations.

However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2019 to present, with zero cases reported in any unit. The most recent structural and safety violations, documented in December 2024, included problems with ceilings in public areas requiring repair and repainting, which were certified as completed in early 2025. Despite the ongoing heating system challenges, the building has generally passed routine inspections related to various health and safety requirements, including a rodent inspection completed in December 2024.
