187 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

187 4th Avenue is a 10-story, 9-unit residential building located in Park Slope, owned by Tin Ming Fung and constructed in 2011. The building's recent history shows recurring issues with compliance to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code regulations.

Interestingly, the building's official bedbug reporting for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infestations. A notable safety incident occurred in 2018 when the elevator door zone restrictor was tampered with, creating a potential hazard for passengers, though this was subsequently resolved with a $1,250 penalty. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2018-2019, all of which passed, suggesting improved pest management over time.

The property's earlier history from 2010-2011 showed multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application and compliance inspections, indicating a significant initial pest management challenge that appears to have been addressed. While the recent bedbug reporting compliance issues are concerning, the building's rodent management record has shown consistent improvement, with no failed inspections recorded since 2019. These patterns suggest a building that has made progress in some areas of pest management while encountering new compliance challenges in recent years.
