432A 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, two-unit building at 432A 4th Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Moy Pang, has a mixed maintenance record since its 1925 construction as an Old Law Tenement. While the building has consistently demonstrated proactive bedbug management, with all four recent Bedbug Reporting filings (2022-2024) showing zero infestations or eradications, there have been recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports.

In April 2024, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding unpermitted realtor banners, though this was resolved with no penalties assessed. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a complaint about work being done without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, but this inspection was marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." The building's maintenance record also shows an earlier rodent inspection in April 2019, which passed, indicating no active rodent issues at that time.

The pattern of bedbug report violations suggests administrative oversights rather than active pest issues, as evidenced by the subsequent successful completion of bedbug reporting requirements. The relatively recent building complaints and violations, while concerning, typically relate more to compliance issues than direct impacts on resident safety or comfort.
