402 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 402 4th Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Timothy Sulka, has a notable history of plumbing-related issues and compliance challenges. Most recently, in July 2025, a plumbing permit was issued, following several years of violation notices related to inspection report filings.
Between 2023 and 2024, the Department of Buildings issued violations for failure to file 2018 and 2019 External Low Pressure Inspection reports, and a 2019 violation for not filing the 2017 Boiler Inspection report, though these were all subsequently dismissed. The building has consistently demonstrated good pest control management, with all Bedbug Reporting filings from 2019 through 2025 showing no infested units. Historical records indicate some rodent activity in 2012, but this was addressed through compliance updates.
A significant plumbing issue was reported in June 2022, but no violations were found upon HPD inspection. Previous plumbing concerns include a 2019 complaint regarding water retention and drainage, which was also resolved with no violation issued. The building's inspection and violation history suggests ongoing oversight of building systems, particularly plumbing, though recent activity indicates compliance with current regulations.
