Augrented Insights Report for 4220 15th Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 4220 15th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Leib Reichman, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2018. Most pressing are structural concerns noted in recent inspections, including serious deterioration of floor joists in units 1B, 3F, and 4H observed in March 2021, showing vertical cracks, deflection, and potential collapse conditions, with similar issues reported in a second-floor unit in September 2020. The building has also faced multiple emergencies in June 2025, including heat/hot water issues, electrical power outages, window frame problems, and flooring concerns, all of which were closed quickly but indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has had recurring issues with unauthorized work, as evidenced by multiple "Work Without a Permit" complaints from 2024-2025, though inspections generally found no violations. Previous notable incidents include multiple mold-related complaints in September 2018 (some resulting in violations), plumbing issues in August 2018, and rodent sightings in July 2020, though inspections passed with only minor violations. The building's violation history shows several open issues requiring attention, including concerning safety and maintenance violations from 2021. These include problems with exterior stairs, yard paving, and window frame metal gates hindering egress at the 2nd and 3rd stories.

While there have been multiple annual bedbug reports filed between 2022-2024 showing zero infestations, this appears to be a procedural requirement rather than indicating previous problems. The most recent bedbug filings from 2024-2025 report no affected units. The property has maintained some basic compliance measures, including passing rodent inspections and filing annual bedbug reports, though these do not negate the more serious structural and maintenance issues observed. Recent permit activity (2020-2025) suggests ongoing maintenance work is being conducted, with multiple electrical work permits issued through 2024.
