4204 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, two-family house at 4204 14th Avenue in Borough Park, built in 1930 and currently owned by 4204 Realty LLC, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past few years. Notably, in early 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding a slow water leak that resulted in housing maintenance code violations, specifically concerning broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint issues on the south wall and ceiling of the third-floor public hall.

These conditions were classified as Class B violations, indicating they pose a moderate level of concern. Additionally, there was a concerning egress safety complaint in February 2022 regarding locked or blocked emergency exits, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final inspection attempt.

Despite these issues, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building over the past four reporting periods from November 2021 through October 2023, with no units needing eradication or experiencing re-infestation according to the official bedbug reporting system. While the building's documented issues have been addressed or closed, it is worth noting that several inspections have been hindered by access issues, particularly in 2022 when inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify or resolve reported conditions. The latest documented complaints and violations date back to 2022, suggesting either improved conditions or potential limitations in the availability of more recent inspection data.
