546 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

546 4th Avenue is a 9-story, 15-unit residential building located in Gowanus, completed in 2013 and currently owned by Spiro Geroulanos. The building has experienced several significant events, most notably a series of utility and safety issues in July 2020, including a building-wide heat and hot water outage, a power outage, and concerns about the sprinkler system - all of which were classified as emergency situations but were resolved within days of inspection with no violations issued. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control, with annual reports from 2018 to 2024 showing no infestations, though the property received violations in 2022 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently resolved.

Two construction-related complaints were filed in 2024-2025 regarding work beyond approved plans/permits, with one resulting in an Oath Violation. In 2020, an elevator violation was issued and resolved the same day. The building underwent multiple rodent inspections between 2010-2018, with some initial failures noted in 2010-2011, but has consistently passed more recent inspections.

The property has faced various maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting, electrical infrastructure issues (with a specific violation in 2020 regarding unreadable main line fuses and power concerns), and two Notice of Violation issuances for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report in 2023. While there were several construction-related complaints in 2018 regarding building stability and work orders, these were either dismissed or resolved. The building's permit history shows activity in 2019 with an issued permit, and most recent inspections have shown compliance with basic safety and maintenance requirements. Though the building has experienced various maintenance issues over time, recent years (2022-2025) have shown improved compliance with safety regulations, particularly regarding pest control and maintenance reporting requirements.
