4712 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

This three-story, two-unit residential building at 4712 New Utrecht Avenue, built in 1931 and currently owned by Efraim Kaiser, has experienced recurring heating issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in January 2023 affecting the entire building, with two emergency complaints filed on January 16 and 17, though one was noted as a duplicate of another tenant's report.

A similar building-wide heating complaint was recorded and resolved in February 2020, and there was a building-shaking complaint investigated in February 2020, which resulted in violations but were later dismissed in September 2020. The building's violation history shows attention to safety and maintenance concerns, with annual bedbug reports filed between 2019-2023 showing no infestation cases or eradication efforts.

Notable violations in 2019 included multiple safety concerns such as broken wire glass in the entrance transom, an illicit double-cylinder lock on the second-floor apartment door, and issues with entrance door self-closing mechanisms. Other maintenance matters from 2019 involved concrete floor repairs in the vestibule, handrail security at the second-story stairs, and various public hall maintenance items. The most recent violation from March 2023 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though this appears to have been routine rather than indicating an infestation problem.
