4613 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-family residential building at 4613 15th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Jeanne Rubenstein, has been facing ongoing regulatory challenges over the past several years regarding pest management compliance. The most pressing current issue, as of April 2024, involves multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations (from 2021 through 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

These recurring violations suggest a pattern of non-compliance with mandatory health and safety reporting requirements, potentially impacting resident comfort and safety. In addition to the bedbug reporting violations, there have been two notable complaints recorded through the Department of Buildings. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a construction safety compliance action that resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

Prior to that, in January 2022, there was a complaint regarding work being performed without the necessary permits in the occupied multiple dwelling. This complaint was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt," suggesting that building access was not granted for inspection purposes, which could indicate potential concerns about cooperation with regulatory oversight at the property. The building, constructed in 1920 and consisting of three stories, has maintained its status as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, which typically indicates the property has undergone some form of prior conversion or modification from its original use.
