454 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, three-unit apartment building at 454 East 4th Street in Kensington, owned by Shadaqur Rahman, was constructed in 1910 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most significantly a series of heat and hot water service interruptions throughout January 2022, with five separate emergency complaints filed for the entire building during this period.

While HPD responded to these complaints, access issues prevented full inspections, though subsequent reports indicated service had been restored. The building has also been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though these were ultimately closed. Recent records indicate improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three filing periods (2022-2025), and the most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 showed zero infested or eradicated units.

A Department of Buildings inspection in December 2024 investigated a complaint of work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The building's only recorded ECB violation, from September 2018, was regarding an improperly parked vehicle, which was resolved without penalty. While the property has faced recurring maintenance issues in the past, particularly in early 2022, the more recent history suggests improved conditions, with no major complaints or violations reported in the past year.
