4606 Ft Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 4606 Ft Hamilton Parkway in Borough Park, owned by Zhifeng Yu, has experienced a series of concerning events over the past several years, with particularly notable issues regarding access and compliance. Since 2021, there have been multiple failed inspection attempts, including a 2024 complaint about water retention and drainage issues where inspectors were unable to gain access during their second final attempt in January 2025.

The property has also faced recurring concerns about illegal conversions, with complaints filed in both 2021 and 2023 when inspectors were denied access during their second attempts. Additional issues include a complaint in 2023 regarding construction beyond approved plans, and a 2021 complaint about work being done without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling, again resulting in access denial on the second attempt. A storefront sign violation in 2021 led to an Environmental Control Board violation in 2022, with penalties imposed and subsequently resolved.

On a potentially positive note, the building passed a rodent inspection in February 2023, suggesting compliance with basic health standards. The Department of Buildings records show several permits issued between 2020 and 2023 under job number 321593619, including multiple plumbing permits (PL) and alteration permits (AL), indicating some level of ongoing maintenance and authorized work on the property. However, the pattern of access denial during inspections and the frequency of complaints regarding unauthorized modifications raise concerns about building code compliance and resident safety.
