225 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

225 4th Avenue is a 13-story, 64-unit Class A residence built in 2018 and currently owned by Deborah Kasner. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in the past two years. Most notably, there are currently open violations from December 2023 in apartment 4G regarding water leaks, mold, and damaged plastered surfaces, which remain unresolved as of early 2025.

The building experienced multiple service complaints between March 2020 related to heat/hot water and plumbing issues, though many of these complaints were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. Recent activity includes a closed Department of Health inspection in 2024 related to a food establishment complaint and a closed HPD door/windo complaint from September 2024, though these did not result in significant findings. The building's history shows some accessibility challenges for inspectors, with several complaints closed due to inability to gain access for inspection, including those related to electrical issues in 2019 and various maintenance problems in 2020.

The property has not reported any bedbug infestations in its last four annual reports (2020-2024), and while there were some rodent activity reports in 2018 during initial inspections, subsequent compliance inspections passed. The building's construction phase raised some safety concerns, with a noteworthy Environmental Control Board violation in 2018 regarding construction safety with a penalty of $25,000, and another related to occupancy contrary to the certificate of occupancy with a $625 penalty. Various violations were issued in 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building has consistently filed its bedbug reports showing no infestations, and recent filings indicate proper management of pest control requirements.
