209 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 209 4th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Gur Altberg and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with two emergency calls in late 2023 and one in early 2022, though inspections typically found no violations or confirmed restoration of services.

A recent unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage was filed in April 2025, resulting in violations that require correction by the property owner, while various safety inspections in 2023 identified issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has documented maintenance history showing both active and resolved violations. Open violations include failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low-pressure inspections as of June 2023, while past issues from 2018 included concerns about wall stability, mold, and maintenance of various apartment features in Unit 3L.

The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule, with filings showing zero affected units from 2019-2022. Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2022 passed, though there was documented rat activity in 2022, with follow-up inspections showing compliance. The building's systems have undergone various inspections and repairs over time, including a notice regarding boiler registration and wall maintenance in 2018-2019, with most violations being addressed promptly through official channels.
