4008 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit building at 4008 New Utrecht Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Samuel Krieger, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018, with the most recent concerning a water leak that was reported in July 2022 and resulted in multiple open violations in Apartment 2B as of October 2022. These violations included requirements to address water damage, repair plaster surfaces, and fix peeling paint, along with several safety-related issues such as installing window guards and repairing self-closing doors.

The building has also faced heating and hot water system problems, with a notable incident in December 2018 affecting the entire building, though those services were reported restored shortly thereafter. The property underwent a rodent inspection in October 2022, which it passed, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units. The building has shown some improvement in compliance with safety and maintenance regulations, with several violations from 2022 being certified as closed by October 2022.

These included requirements to post proper signage regarding building registration and gas leak procedures, though some violations remained open as of the latest data. Notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building has not reported any bedbug infestations or required treatments, indicating successful pest management practices. The most recent 311 complaint, filed in June 2021 regarding rodent sightings, remains marked as in progress, though this is somewhat outdated given the subsequent rodent inspection in 2022 resulted in a passing grade.
