4802 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 30-unit, 4-story residential building at 4802 12th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Mendy Deutsch, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2018. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks and ceiling plaster issues, all of which HPD was unable to inspect. Of greater concern were several violations recorded in July 2022 involving obstructed fire escapes, including wrought iron gates blocking egress from various floors and construction materials obstructing fire escape access.
The building has also faced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints between 2019-2020 related to single device operation and no alternate service, leading to ECB violations totaling $6,875 in penalties that have since been resolved. The property has demonstrated some progress in pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), and passed initial and compliance rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022. However, there were multiple rodent complaints in 2019-2022, indicating some ongoing pest management challenges.
The building's maintenance record shows consistent engagement with regulatory requirements, including the recent filing of the 2023-2024 bedbug report showing zero infested units. Some violations related to elevator safety and emergency preparedness were not immediately resolved, though most have been addressed through proper certification and payment of penalties. The property's relatively recent issues with water leaks and ceiling damage suggest ongoing maintenance needs, while the resolved fire escape obstructions indicate previous safety concerns that were addressed.
