608 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, three-unit building at 608 East 4th Street in Kensington, owned by Baldomero/marco Gonzaga/vasquez, has several significant maintenance and compliance issues on record. Most recently, in November 2023, there were complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has persistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open Class A violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with mandatory annual bedbug reporting to HPD. While these violations are classified as administrative rather than immediate safety concerns, their recurring nature suggests possible issues with building management's adherence to housing maintenance codes.

The property, built in 1920, is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating it was previously converted to multiple dwellings but retains its original building classification. In mid-2023, there was a Department of Buildings complaint filed in June regarding a property at 11218 that was investigated and closed in July. The building's documented history shows ongoing challenges with basic amenities and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding heat maintenance and pest reporting procedures, though no recent violations directly related to safety hazards or structural issues have been recorded.
