4506 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 4506 12th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Mendel Lipschutz, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2013. As of September 2024, the building has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including requirements to post gas leak procedures, maintain proper signage regarding housing information, and address various safety requirements in the 1st-story public hall.
These violations include the need to paint a west wall to departmental satisfaction, maintain a fire-retardant material, and provide proper carbon monoxide detector requirements notice. Of particular concern is a broken or defective fire door in Stair B, which was previously classified as a Class C violation but has since been closed as of November 2024. The building's elevator system has been a recurring issue, with two separate complaints (2019 and 2022) alleging "No Alternate Service" problems, leading to Environmental Control Board violations that required resolution of multiple safety concerns, including inoperative zone lock restrictors, missing fire signs, and maintenance issues with the elevator components, resulting in penalties totaling $2,500.
More recent complaints include a zoning issue from 2024 that was closed with no violations found. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2022-2023 showing no infested or re-infested units, and an initial rodent inspection from 2017 resulted in a passing grade. The building has also demonstrated some compliance with certain violations, as evidenced by the closure of several issues from 2024, including the bedbug reporting violation and a fire door issue.
