4213 Ft Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 4213 Ft Hamilton Parkway in Borough Park, owned by Dzhura Matayev, has experienced significant maintenance and health safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring pest problems, with multiple complaints about rodent and insect infestations between May and September 2024, including documented violations for roach and rat infestations in the 3rd floor apartment. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions, with violations issued in May 2024 relating to wall paint, window frames, and a refrigerator.

Emergency complaints from late 2023-early 2024 noted problems with stairs, water leaks, and doors. Recent inspections from August 2024 have revealed new violations requiring attention to fire-retardant plaster issues in the 1st story public hall, while previously investigated problems with a non-self-closing entrance door and the 3rd floor bathroom ventilation system have been categorized as open violations. The property has a concerning history of inspection access issues, with multiple agencies (HPD, DOHMH) unable to gain access during inspections.

Building system maintenance has also been a concern, with active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2019, 2021, and 2023. Additionally, an illegal conversion complaint from 2020 regarding unauthorized partitions and a kitchen installation in the cellar was filed, though no violations were found at that time. The building, constructed in 1910 and previously classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has shown persistent maintenance and health safety concerns that have required ongoing attention from multiple city agencies, with some violations remaining unresolved as of recent inspections. The property has undergone various inspection cycles, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" determination.
