4703 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 2-family house at 4703 New Utrecht Avenue in Borough Park, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jem & Jem Corp., is a three-story residential building. The property's most significant recent incident occurred in late December 2022 when both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code received emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

These complaints were promptly investigated and closed within one week, following confirmation that the reported conditions had been corrected, though the resolution notice included a caveat that new complaints should be filed if the conditions persisted. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years.

Inspection reports for the periods ending in October 2020 and October 2023 both show zero confirmed infestations, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation during these reporting periods. The absence of bedbug issues in these two consecutive reporting periods, combined with the prompt resolution of the heat and hot water complaint, suggests that while the building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, these have been addressed in a timely manner and without recurrence.
