730 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

730 East 4th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Kensington, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Sender Rosen. The property has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, most notably a fire in May 2023 that caused damage to all three apartments (1, 2, and 3) and resulted in multiple outstanding Class C violations related to fire damage across these units.

The fire incident also led to additional violations requiring repairs to fire-rated materials and window glass panes in the cellar area, as well as painting requirements for the cellar ceiling. More recently, in April 2024, a Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings in December 2024 indicate no bedbug infestation was present during the 2023-2024 reporting period. The building has a history of regulatory challenges beyond the recent fire incident, including significant concerns about lead paint management in 2022 that resulted in Class C violations, though these were subsequently closed.

Two complaints regarding unauthorized work in the occupied building were filed in November 2023, but inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to access issues. The property's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance in terms of reporting, with no recorded infestations or eradication efforts between 2019 and 2024, suggesting effective pest management procedures when compared to the 2024 violation regarding reporting requirements. While the building has demonstrated some ability to address specific issues (as evidenced by several violations being closed), the combination of the recent fire damage and outstanding violations suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that require attention.
