4402 10th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 4402 10th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Huan Chen and built in 1930, has a documented history of compliance issues and violations that are especially notable for ongoing safety concerns. Most recently, in 2024, the property received its fourth consecutive open violation for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, which has been required since at least 2021.

Between 2022 and 2024, the building accrued multiple violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with three such violations issued in 2023 alone, though these were ultimately dismissed in December 2024. A significant environmental control board violation was recorded in July 2019, relating to an unpermitted brick structure that may have been used as a garage, while a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was filed in January 2021, though the inspector was unable to gain access.

The building's records also show a pattern of missed compliance deadlines, including annual boiler inspection filings, though this particular violation from 2019 was resolved with a civil penalty payment of $1,000. The property is classified as a New Law Tenement, indicating it is subject to specific regulatory requirements under NYC housing maintenance laws. While some violations have been dismissed or resolved, the persistent nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with compliance, particularly regarding timely documentation of required inspections and reports.
