4911 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, two-unit building at 4911 12th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Jacob Wertheimer, has experienced several notable maintenance issues between 2021 and 2024. Most concerning are the ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating non-compliance with § HMC regulations requiring annual bedbug reports to be filed with HPD.

The building has also faced safety concerns, particularly regarding window guards - a broken/missing window guard was reported in February 2022 (classified as a C violation), and subsequent inspections revealed a need for repairs or replacements of defective window guards in apartment 2F. Additional violations include an open Class A violation from April 2022 regarding the improper placement of the Certificate of Inspection Visits frame near the mailbox area on the first story.

The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, as evidenced by an unsanitary condition complaint (non-emergency) in February 2022, though no violations were issued following inspection. While some complaints have been addressed - such as the window guard issue which was initially reported through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in February 2022 - many violations remain open as of 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The property was built in 1930 and has been classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, indicating it was converted to a multiple dwelling structure prior to current regulations.
