4 Lynch Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 7-story, 13-unit residential building at 4 Lynch Street in Williamsburg, owned by Henry Weiss, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2006. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding exterior maintenance, with three active violations related to the building's façade and appurtenances.

Two separate violations from 2022 and 2023 involve failures to submit required critical examination reports of the exterior walls, with penalties of $10,000 each, and a 2023 violation acknowledges cracks in brick at the 6th-floor balcony and open mortar cracks at the parapet, with a $1,250 penalty. The building has also faced recurring compliance issues with the annual bedbug reporting requirement, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for not filing the necessary documentation, though these are classified as "Class A" violations which typically indicate less severe impact on residents. Additional notable incidents include a indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors, gases, or odors in March 2023, which resulted in an advisory to the property owner.

The building's daycare facility received a complaint in August 2020, though the specific nature and outcome of this complaint are not detailed in the records. An unverified rodent inspection from September 2016 appears to have passed, suggesting no significant rodent issues at that time. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, particularly regarding exterior upkeep and reporting compliance, there are no documented violations directly related to interior habitability or resident safety concerns, aside from the indoor air quality incident.
